POSTS STORIES REELS

Another brilliant session with a KS2 group last week!

The excitement on their faces as they uncovered ‘treasures’ from the sandpit was priceless — it never gets old.

One of our favourite activities is bringing everyone together to place their discoveries on a timeline. It’s hands-on, collaborative, and a great way to spark historical thinking in a fun, memorable way.

WHO ARE THE HISTORY DETECTORS?
We are Nick and Karl. Nick has over 20 years of experience as a Primary school teacher/SLT who specialised in History and Outdoor learning amongst other things. Karl is a graphic designer and avid metal detectorist whose social media postings about metal detecting as a way to boost Mental Health aka ‘The Mental Detector’ led him to being contacted and endorsed by @cmdetectors.

Our combined expertise in each respective area has given rise to the idea of using Metal detecting to enrich the History National curriculum with practical and active learning.

OUR OBJECTIVES

* To bring history to life in a practical, scientific and fun way for children in schools.

* To use artefacts for historical enquiry and to draw conclusions about different eras of British history.

* To encourage children to take up/get involved with Metal detecting as a new hobby/way of life.

* We provide curriculum enrichment by using real tools and artefacts that historians use / find whilst out in the field
