Term 3

Our topic this term is entitled 'Ancient Egyptians'.

Why do we learn about ancient civilisations? Who were the Ancient Egyptians and how do we know about them? As budding historians, we will travel back in time and develop our knowledge and understanding of how their lives were different to ours and their legacy today. When studying history, we are looking in the mirror at ourselves – looking both backwards and forwards. History helps us understand who we are as society now, how we got here, and what we learned along the way. When looking at ancient history, Ancient Egypt has some of the most incredible, compelling, exciting puzzles and mysteries that can be found in studying how humanity began forming civilizations.

Egyptian Afternoon 

Thank you very much to all the parents who joined us for our afternoon of clay modelling and mummification. Everyone seemed to have a lovely, if slightly messy, time.  

During the afternoon, the children had a chance to test their instructions and see how the mummification process worked, and we will see how successful they have been at the end of the term. 

We also had many stunning jars created by families in attendance. There are some remarkable artists out there!  

We look forward to seeing you for more arts and crafts related opportunities over the next couple of terms.
