Pharaoh-nomenal Egyptian Experience in Year 3

On our Year 3 Ancient Egyptian Immersion Day, our children embarked on an exciting journey through time, immersing themselves in the rich culture of Ancient Egypt. The day kicked off with lively Egyptian dance and music lessons, where the children learned traditional movements and rhythms, bringing the history to life. Next, they ventured into the world of hieroglyphics, creating unique prints using stamps and their creativity, which helped them understand this fascinating writing system.

Year 3 then crafted headdresses inspired by the pharaohs, using colourful materials to express their artistic flair. The final activity involved sequencing key events in Ancient Egyptian history on a timeline, allowing them to connect the dots between significant moments and figures. This hands-on experience not only deepened their understanding of Ancient Egyptian civilisation but also fostered teamwork, creativity, and a lasting appreciation for an incredible period of time. 

Here are some photos of our learning:

Year 5 Science - Plants

In Science this week, Year 5 learnt about sexual reproduction in plants. They dissected a flower to learn about its different parts and then learnt about the role of pollination.

Cabeza, hombros, rodillas y pies!!!

Children in year 3 have had the most delightful time learning, as they sing along to a very well known song, but in Spanish!!! As they play and sing, they learned how to say the parts of the body in Spanish.

Free time activities in Spanish Year 5

Year 5 started a new topic in Spanish last week: Free Time Activities. The children learned how to build grammatically correct sentences in Spanish to give opinions about what they like and do not like to do in their free time.

Year 3 Fractions

During this week in Maths, Year 3 have recapped 'fractions'. 

We spoke about what a fraction is and defined numerators and denominators.

With our table group, we were tasked to use the fraction cards to see how many parts make a whole, whilst identifying the numerator and denominator.   

Year 2 Beech visit the Golden Hinde

Last week, Beech Class visited the Golden Hinde as part of out topic of Oceans. We learnt about Sir Francis Drake and how he sailed and explored the world on his ship.

It was a great day and we enjoyed learning about life on board!
