Boy King Dead!

This week, in English, we have been thinking about newspaper reports and have learnt a text about Tutankhamun's mysterious death!

Here are some of the story maps we made to help us remember what happened and to learn some phrases which will help us with our own writing.

Testing to see what is magnetic

Continuing with our topic of forces in science this term, this week we are testing to find out what is, and what isn't, magnetic. 

Did you know....

In English, so far this term, we have been looking at skills related to Information texts. We finished this unit by writing our own texts about animals which might live in the desert, and did some peer assessment to see how we got on.

We enjoyed finding out about Egyptian society. Each group used information books to find out about a different group.

Tea Time Concert

Well done to all the children who participated in last nights Tea Time Concert - you all gave great performances!

Trip to Ancient Egypt!

In connection with our topic this half term, today we paid a visit to Bristol Museum to visit the Ancient Egypt artefacts they have on display. We learnt lots about the life and beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians as well as what happened when they died and the afterlife.  

Measuring Friction

In science this term we are looking at forces. This week we did an experiment looking at how friction affects a car on different surfaces.
