It is so nice to be back in the classroom with such an enthusiastic bunch of children!  Class 6 have begun their year in Ancient Egypt, hearing mythological stories of the many Gods and Goddesses.  They have studied the geography of Northern Africa, in particular, the incredible Nile and how it has supported life in and around Egypt for thousands of years and the interesting animals that call it home.  The children have learnt about the mummification process and how it is a vital part of travelling to the afterlife.  They have spent time planning their tombs and what they would take with them after death (lots of food and pets!).  

The children are now studying the daily life of an ancient Egyptian including housing, food, clothes and jobs.  We have also now begun debating so be prepared for some persuasive discussions at home!
