The Big Dig Archaeology Education Centre is part of Sydney Harbour YHA in The Rocks heritage precinct of Sydney.
The centre facilitates hands-on archaeology educational experiences and opens the archaeological site to the public.
Stage 2 students from OLOL went to The Big Dig earlier this week and worked as archaeologists to excavate artefacts from the simulated archaeological dig, then used their investigative skills to discover what life was really like for the convicts and early settlers who lived in The Rocks during the 1800s.

Over the past two weeks in Year 2 we have been learning about how to write a procedural text. We started with Fairy Bread and then βFrog in a Pondβ. Each week began with the teachers demonstrating how to make each yummy treat, followed by the students creating their own recipe! The children explored how verbs and adverbs can make a recipe really easy to follow. They had so much fun writing their procedural texts and then eating their yummy treats! π§π»π«π

As we head into the warmer months Year 1 has started the term with a fun beach focus. Students have enjoyed reading a variety of beach and water-themed books and using these stories to inspire their writing. They explored verbs through the book Jetty Jumping and used lots of descriptive adjectives to write about different sea creatures. The students have had a great time making connections to their own beach experiences and discovering interesting fun facts about life under the sea. πβοΈππ ππ¦π
