This week they put their historical knowledge to the test by investigating an archaeological find - the skeleton of an Indus Valley person. Children used facts from the skeletons 'case file' to work out what gender they were, what their job might have been, whether they were rich or poor and even what they might have worn. Working in teams, they did incredibly well to piece together the mystery behind this Indus Valley skeleton. ### History 19.11.21 [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2813.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2813.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2814.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2814.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2816.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2816.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2817.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2817.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2818.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2818.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2819.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/images/gallery/history-19-11-21/IMG_2819.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_2848.JPG)](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2021-11-19-15-51-02-middle-school-children-in-need) Previous ### [Middle School Children In Need](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2021-11-19-15-51-02-middle-school-children-in-need) [![](https://files.schudio.com/inskip-st-peters-2/imagecache/100x100c/blog/AE36D6AC-F5EF-4281-B4A9-590E31B7C9EA.jpeg)](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2021-11-21-09-33-10-raising-money-for-children-in-need) Next ### [Raising Money For Children In Need](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2021-11-21-09-33-10-raising-money-for-children-in-need) ##### Location Preston Road Inskip Preston Lancashire PR4 0TT ##### Contact Us 01772 690438 © Copyright 2025–2026 Inskip St Peter's C of E (Aided) Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://inskip.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
