# Memorable Experience - Time to Dig!

  ![Image of Memorable Experience - Time to Dig!](https://files.schudio.com/boarshawprimary/images/blog/Digging.JPG)  14 June 2016   [Year 3](https://boarshawprimary.co.uk/blog/category/year-3)

**Our new (and final) topic this half term in Year 3 Seahorses is called Tribal Tales. During this topic we will be finding out how Britain developed over thousands of years from the Stone Age to the Roman invasion. To kick start our topic we decided to step outside and stand quietly and still. We thought what it would be like to turn off all technology and try to forget about our current and modern world. We tried to imagine a place 5000 years ago. We talked about what we would be able to see.**

**We decided to conduct a prehistoric dig to see if we could find and unearth any ancient objects which could reveal the secrets of an ancient time! We had so much fun…look at what we found!**
