Current Learning
Our topic for term 1 has a PSHCE and History focus and is: 'What makes societies civilised?' We will be learning about the Ancient Egyptians, starting with an analysis of the timeline of major events in the history of this fascinating civilisation. We will then go on to compare these with what life was like in Britain during that period of time and learn about Egyptologists, pharaohs, mummification and the ceremony of death and the pyramids. We have been lucky enough to secure a visit from "Mr Egypt", who will be running a fascinating workshop for the children at the end of October - more details to follow!
