Year 6

 

Autumn Term 1 - 2018

Year 6 have been finding out about the Ancient Egyptians this half term and have taken part in many different activities to support their learning. A particular favourite was learning about the process of mummification and the many stages that this involved.

   

The theme continued with a fun but educational dress-up day, where the children came to school as Ancient Egyptians and made Canopic jars and amulets, and wrote hieroglyphics – amongst other things…

   
   
       
   

In English, we flew back to the 11th century and learned about Shakespeare’s Macbeth. To begin our learning, the children were entertained by the Young Shakespeare Company, which came to the school and enacted a version of the play where we all got to participate in order to bring the story to life.

     
     

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