Y3 become Ancient Egyptians for the day!

Year 3 had their immersion day for this half term where they spent a whole day learning about Ancient Egypt. Their activities included:

Learning about why scarab beetles were an important symbol in Egypt. They then made their own out of clay.

Reading and writing using hieroglyphs

Making their own pyramids

Designing their own Ancient Egyptian collars

Nursery celebrate St George's Day!

The children in Nursery had lots of fun learning about St George and the Dragon. We made our own St George flags and we had a parade around the playground. We then made our own jam sandwiches to have a celebratory snack time. Happy St George's Day! 

Nursery save the day!

Nursery enjoyed a special Superhero day. The children had the chance to dress as a favourite Superhero and participated in lots of Superhero themed activities. They listened to Superhero stories and music, played with Superhero small world figures, and made their own Superhero hats, masks and cuffs.

Year 1 Design their Meal

Children were introduced to Food Tech this term. Today they learnt that in order to design a meal, you need to choose the ingredients you want and plan how to make it. They learned that if it has seeds, it’s is a fruit, otherwise it is a vegetable. We can eat different parts of plants such as flowers, stems, leaves, fruit and roots. Children tasted some different vegetables and chose which one they would like to include for our class dish. We then completed a design sheet, listing ingredients, equipment and method.

 

Y3 get digging!

Today Y3 became archaeologists! We headed down to the Forest School with our brushes in hand, ready to discover some Egyptian artefacts. When we were down there, the children were able to uncover many different artefacts, which we later identified as primary sources. We discussed the artefacts we had found, and thought what they could be and what we might be able to learn from them. One of the items we found was the Rosetta Stone which later allowed us to translate hieroglyphs!
