Ancient Egypt
We will learn all about Ancient Egypt and study the Egyptians through all subjects this half term. In History we will look at how the Egyptian civilisation thrived as the River Nile provided a way of life for the pharaoh and his people. In Art we will look at 3D sculpture and children will have their very own opportunity to make a ‘Scarab Beetle Amulet’ using the medium of clay.
Quality Text: Egyptology
We study ‘Egyptology’ as our quality text. Children are exposed to the story of amateur Egyptologist, Emily Sands, and will write their own mystery narrative as they venture through the tomb of a pharaoh to find hidden treasure. How will they duck and dive through the booby-traps that lay hidden?
