In English, we have been writing an adventure story based in Ancient Egypt. We have been developing strategies to create suspense and tension in the build-up and problems within our stories. We have also re-visited how to use direct speech in our writing.
In Maths, we have been applying our addition and subtraction methods when adding and subtracting amounts of money. We investigated how we could make an amount of money using different combinations of coins. We have also been using a food menu to buy items and calculate our change.
In our Topic, we continue to find out more about Ancient Egypt such as the importance of the River Nile, the season and the process of Mummification. The children seem very engaged and enthusiastic about our topic and we are pleased to see lots of objects being brought to school to share with the rest of the class.
In Science, we formed an investigation to find out about the vibrations created when making a sound and made conclusions about our findings.
