Welcome back

Year 3 and 4

The Ashmolean Museum comes to Stanmore Primary School!

As a hook for our Ancient Egyptian topic, children in Year 3 and 4 were treated to a live virtual tour of the wonderful Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which is the setting form some incredible Egyptian artefacts. One of the museum curators shared some of these amazing objects with the children, as well as offering them a tantalising glimpse into this ancient civilisation. What a way to start the new year!

As well as this visit the children in yr 3/4 had a fantastic afternoon exploring sound and the vibrations it causes. There were some excellent observations made and we were all really impressed by the scientific vocabulary that was used.

Year 5 and 6

This week in 5/6, we have started a new text in our English lessons, The Whale- a stunning black and white wordless picture book.

We have had a busy week starting of by comparing varying picture books; looking at the genre of our new text; creating a timeline of events; adding our own language to certain images and using drama to bring the story to life.
