Egyptian Day

Athletics

This week 12 children from year 5 and 6 represented the school at Kings and took part in a range of different athletic activities. These included the javelin and the triple jump! They were a credit to the school and Mrs Horkan was very impressed with their enthusiasm.

Year 3 and 4 Egyptian day

Egyptian day was a great success!

We learned how to use hieroglyphics, found out about the Egyptian number system and mummified tomatoes! Later on, we made our own shabtis- servants to look after us in the afterlife!

Year 5 and 6

In Science this week the children have been learning about the function of blood in blood and the different components it is made from. To help them understand, the children made their own blood using cheerios (red blood cells), orange water (plasma), white marshmallows (white blood cells) and tiny pom poms (platelets). It was very messy but lots of fun and it helped us all remember the different parts.

Year 5/6 also accessed Google Legends to learn all about being safe on the internet. Through quizzes and games, we were able to understand the importance of being safe on the internet.
