Hello everybody and welcome to our class page. In our team, we have 3 adults - Mrs Westlake, Miss Marriott and Mrs Hickman. We have a fantastic class full of wonderful children who brighten our up our days! Take a look below at our current learning and some great pictures too!

This term our topic is Ancient Egypt

We will be learnign all about the Ancient Egyptians, their customs, values, writing and similarities and differences between them and us. We will also be making our own journey to the Afterlife and creating different things we will need to take with us, including: a Book of the Dead, a scarab necklace and models of servants to protect us!

ENGLISH

In English, we are spending this term looking at Roald Dahl and in particular, GEORGE'S MARVELLOUS MEDICINE.

Have a look at our immersive area! The children love playing in it and have already made some great potions in the cauldron - mostly to make the adults stop talking!
