In Literacy we have started learning about explanatory texts. We started this topic with an Elicitation Task about The Digestive System- we were very impressed with everyone's writing and how much they remembered from their science lessons!
In Maths, we have started learning about fraction- we have been ordering, representing as well as identifying different fractions. We enjoyed using numicon, fraction walls, base 10 and fraction wheels to help us understand the concept of fractions.
In our topic, we are now thinking about how to put together a documentary about Ancient Egypt- we are keen to show how people were mummified as we found this very interesting!
We have really enjoyed Art lessons about Egypt- we have drawn Queen Nefertiti and we have been writing messages in hieroglyphics. Our next lesson will be to surround our drawing with hieroglyphics, as well as painting our pictures. See below the code to hieroglyphics and try some more of your own!
Again, we are so proud of the enthusiasm the children have shown about Ancient Egypt and are delighted to see that children are making Power Points, creating fact files and finding out more about the history of Egypt at home and in Reward Time on a Friday!
