Year 6

 

Autumn Term 1 - 2019

Year 6 have loved learning about the Ancient Egyptians and what everyday life was like for them. During the term, we designed and made Ancient Egyptian sarcophagi and got very messy in the process! We even ‘mummified’ children in the class to help us learn about how they treated the dead!

The theme continued with a fun but educational dress-up day, where the children dressed up as Ancient Egyptians and carried out several activities such as making Canopic jars, amulets and writing hieroglyphics.

 
   

In English, we flew back to the 11th century and learned about Shakespeare’s Macbeth. To begin with, the Young Shakespeare Company came to the school and entertained the children with an interactive version of the play; we were all able to participate in order to bring the drama to life.

   

This was followed by our own mock battle on the playground, to inspire the children to write descriptive battle scenes.
