 We have been thoroughly engrossed in this topic and demonstrated a wonderful understanding of Egyptian life. Making our fact files has been so enjoyable and we are all incredibly proud of our finished files.
 

Willow had a very creative science lesson making pan flutes.
We used 8 different lengths of straws and stuck them together. When we blew them we'd created an instrument that could achieve different pitches and we were able to explain why.

We have had an incredible lesson creating our Reflection Areas from our planning. We showed such team work and passion for our creations and then confidently presented them to our friends.

Willow class had a very enjoyable art lesson today, messy but fun.

We have been creating Papyrus paper using strips of sugar paper dipped into glue mixed with water, and layered over wax paper.

This week we have been adding the next level to our structure. Our team work and perseverance was incredible and we are thoroughly enjoying this project.

In DT we have designed a structure. We considered who it would be appealing to and the theme it reflects.

Today we began to use materials to create the different effects and also to ensure our structure was stable.
