Hi everyone,

We have a box and some trays that we use to run simulated excavations.  I have just taken these on, and I'm really interested in hearing for anyone who has experience using them.  In particular:


1.       How have you risked assessed them (a copy of someone's Risk Assessment would be fab)

2.       What items have you put in them, and what tools have people had to excavate?

3.       Play sand - is this the only thing anyone uses or any lighter suggestions, any tips for storage and moving it about?

4.       Hints and tips on how you have made this a meaningful learning experience, and managed groups.  Both in a school session, and in a public drop in session.

Many thanks for the help - happy to collate and circulate any replies.

Kate
