Summer Term - All About Ancient Egypt
What Did The Ancient Egyptians Believe?
This week we had the fantastic Neil in school with us for a full day of Time Travelling workshops on Ancient Egypt!
We started the day by exploring what Archeologists do, and role played discovering some ancient artefacts and an Egyptian Tomb.
Later on we spent some time exploring different artefacts that had been brought in from the Museum, as well as learning how to write our names in hieroglyphics on some real papyrus!

In the afternoon, we role played the steps of preserving and mummifying a body for the afterlife. There were a lot of steps and a lot of different jobs for this. We finished off the day by performing and explaining the mummifications rituals to Sapphires Class.

Living Near Volcanoes
We have been exploring how mountains and volcanoes have formed, as well as why some people might choose to live near places where volcanoes and earthquakes happen. We have had lots of opportunities to hone our map reading and atlas skills!
We finished our unit by exploring the school grounds to see what sort of Rocks we could find and speculate how they were formed.

We began our topic by looking at how incredibly long our timeline would have to be to show all of human history. The first two sheets of toilet roll paper represent the last 2000 years... to get back to the start of the stone age we would need more than a whole roll!
