Rabbit Class

Class teacher’s welcome

 

Welcome back!

We are  continuing our  journey through the spring term together and there will be so many more exciting learning opportunities in store over the next few weeks.

Our first half term has been packed with lots of Ancient Egyptian themed learning, which everyone has thoroughly enjoyed, I hope, and we will continue to explore this further this half term, along with other new topics which are listed below.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all!

All children are encouraged to complete a home learning project to build on their class History and/or Science learning.

Ideas include…

  • Research and create a family tree of an Egyptian Royal family. You could also create and present your own family tree.
  • Write a dairy of a day in the life of a slave or pharaoh.
  • Create a piece of artwork using hieroglyphics (you could write your name in hieroglyphics!)

 

These projects are designed to run alongside the learning for a half-term and should be handed in on or before Friday 28th March 2025. We look forward to inviting you into school at the end of the term to share the children’s projects.
