In English, we have been working on perfecting our instructions. We looked at a range of instructions before writing the instructions for making papyrus paper. Finally, we had to write a set of instructions on how to mummify a body. 

Facing a dilemma, the pharaoh wanted to dam the River Nile. We had to consider the views of the people and write a letter in response. 

Do you agree?

In Art, we have been learning about Eguptian clothing. We discovered that the Egyptians wore heavily jewelled collars, which were covered in precious jewels, gold and silver. We also learnt that some of the collars were so heavy, they had to have a counterweight down their backs to hold them in place. The children used a range of coloured card to create intricate designs for their own collars.

As the new term begins, we will be venturing into the past and looking at the Ancient Egyptians. In science, we will be studying Light and Electricity and we look forward to sharing another fantastic book with our whole class reader.
