On Wednesday we had Mark from Portals to the Past come in to tell us all about the Ancient Egyptians for our Egyptian day! Everyone had so much fun and we all learnt a lot, teachers included! Mark taught us about how Egypt was structured and ruled in Lower and Upper Egypt. We spent some time measuring the Egyptian way using fingers, palms and cubits. Meanwhile others were playing an Egyptian board game similar to what we play today as snakes and ladders. In the afternoon, we learnt about the process of mummification and held a mummification ceremony for our pharaoh. Lastly, we played a game of hounds and jackals, similar to bowling but with javelins with 5H coming out on top. We hope that everyone had a great day and that you have heard all about the day!

This morning, year 5 were enlisted to be mini-teachers to year 3. Year 5 used their knowledge of column multiplication of a 1 digit number multiplied by a 2 digit number to teach and support the year 3s in their learning. The year 3s were also given an extra challenge with the year 5's word problem questions.  It was lovely to see the children helping each other out and working together!

This afternoon, year 5 made their own Egyptian God or Goddess inspired headdresses. We recapped our knowledge of the Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. Then the children took inspiration from one (or multiple) of the gods to create their own headdresses. The completed headdresses all look BRILLIANT! They can be worn on Egyptian day and everyone will be looking the part.  We hope you like seeing what some of the children created!
