Grinch Topic Display

Take a look at some of our amazing work already on display in the classroom linked to our current topic of ‘What’s the most important thing about Christmas?’

The classroom looks super festive and we have even got our own Naughty Nigel elf to look after for Santa!

We have been wondering why he is in our class and thinking of how he got here?

Creating Authentic Egyptian Flatbread!

Today we learnt all about Ancient Egyptian flatbread called ‘Saboob’. We talked about why the Egyptians ate bread so much and what ingredients they used.

We then looked at a recipe and corrected it so it was in the correct layout for instructions. This included using numbered bullet points and an ingredients list.

In the afternoon we used our edited recipe and worked in groups to create our own flatbread! We worked as part of a team and created some delicious bread to enjoy!

Designing an Amulet!

Today Year 4 used their designing and clay modelling skills to create an Egyptian Amulet. The class discussed the use of an amulet in ancient Egypt and how these were used in the burial process to protect the Pharaoh in the afterlife!

They also looked at various designs and why the eye was linked to the Egyptian god ‘Horus’.

Here are some of our amazing amulets from today.

Amazing Animals of Ancient Egypt

Today we looked at the various animals around in Ancient Egypt and what the Egyptians thought of them. Some animals like dogs and cats were used as domestic pets, whereas horses and bulls had jobs and were working animals.

Horses were used to pull the chariots and bulls were used to pull the heavy gold sarcophaguses. Here are a few examples of the lovely topic work from today.
