The HLF funding paid for:
 

• A visit by Year Six pupils to the British Museum exhibition in London
• A visit by Year Six pupils to Flag Fen Archaeological Park (near Must Farm, Peterborough) where they viewed log boats being carefully preserved from the dig and remains of the Flag Fen timber platform, handled real artefacts, made clay pots and heard stories told around the fire in the replica Bronze Age roundhouse. More information on Flag Fen here
• The creation of loan boxes of real and replica Bronze Age artefacts buried in moist peat to imitate the mud at Must Farm and which can be freely borrowed from Hampton Vale Primary School. To enquire about availability please contact Sam Skillcorn at skillcorn@hamptonvale.peterborough.sch.uk. Please note that while there is no charge for loan of the boxes, schools are responsible for picking them up and dropping them back at Hampton Vale as with other loan box schemes.
• A collapsed day in school where Year Six pupils took part in mock excavations using the loan boxes and in activities organised by staff from the Maritime Archaeological Trust whose touring bus visited the school from Portsmouth.
• CPD for local teachers
• Creation of a pop-up museum incorporating pupil work
• An historical background to each excavation produced by Andrew Wrenn (Must Farm) and Dr Corrine Duhig of Cambridge University and Civilisations in Contact (Thion-Heraklion and Canopus).
• A scheme of work and accompanying resources to be published on the schools website and the national website of the Historical Association (on these pages - see attached files below).
