Class 4: A Cartouche

Look at this lovely cartouche, carefully chalked onto black paper to make it stand out brilliantly. She has written her name using hieroglyphics and taken great care with the presentation. Fantastic work!

Class 4: Aish Baladi Bread and a Pyramid

We enjoyed tasting the delicious Aish Baladi bread made by our Year 6 baker. Everyone was lucky enough to try two pieces, and it was absolutely delicious! We were also very impressed by the pyramid, which had real sand added to give it an authentic textured finish.

Class 4: Stem Challenge Day

Today we found out about the job of a rocket engineer. We looked at the science behind a rocket and the different parts needed to help it lift off. We then designed three rockets and built them. Next we will be testing them using payload and a launch at a 45º angle.

Class 4: A journey inside a tomb and an interesting graph

Class 4: A wordsearch and fact file

We are really looking forward to having a go at this Egyptian themed word search, as we all enjoy a good challenge! The interesting facts that came with it were a lovely addition and were well researched.

Class 4: Egyptian Writing

We enjoyed the fascinating facts about pharaohs shared with us today. The title ‘Ancient Egypt’ with the clever weaving of pharaoh and god names throughout the work really impressed us. Beautifully presented too.

Class 4: An Egyptian Weskhet

A decorative Egyptian Usekh (Weskhet) designed by one of our Year 5 pupils. Just look at the magnificent scarab beetle surrounded by sparkling jewels. A truly regal creation!

Class 4: A Mummified Apple

What an amazing home project! A Year 5 pupil successfully mummified an apple using baking soda and salt. The apple weighed 73g before the process and just 21g afterwards, demonstrating how moisture can be removed naturally, much like the Ancient Egyptians did when mummifying. A fascinating investigation and a brilliant effort. Well done!

Class 4: A visiting author

Yesterday, we had an amazing workshop with the author Claire Donald. She read her story Mother Earth and talked to us about how even a small voice can make a big difference. In the afternoon, we took part in a rainforest-themed poetry workshop, where we explored the importance of drafting, redrafting and carefully crafting our … Read more
