Egyptian Day

(Egyptian Workshop link)

Year 4 had great fun at an Egyptian workshop courtesy of the Travelling Museum.

They were given the opportunity to handle a range of artefacts and learn about their purpose and use in Ancient Egyptian times.











The artefacts concerned mummification and the children learnt many interesting and informative facts about the Ancient process.

The children were also given the opportunity to try on some Ancient Egyptian costume.

Children in Need

To raise money for Children in Need this year, it was decided, that for a small donation, the children and staff could dress up as kings and queens for the day. There was a varied selection of characters ranging from Princess Fiona, Elvis, and the King of the Jungle(Mr Barber), to numerous Prince Charmings and Fairy Queens and.............

one 'Kingsize' Mars Bar

Year 4 had an enjoyable day and took part in many “Royal” activities.

They started by making crowns using strips of gold paper. They used bits of coloured paper to decorate them.











They then learnt about the Queen and looked at pictures of Buckingham Palace on the Internet.



After taking part in a catwalk show in assembly they made crown biscuits.





Once cooked they then decorated them with icing and silver, green, pink or blue balls

They also wrote about what they would do if they were King or Queen for the day.
