We learnt about earthquakes in Geography today and we had a go at making some earthquake proof structures. We then tested them out to see how strong they were. We all worked really hard in our groups and were very supportive of each others excellent efforts.

Today was History Day.

We went to the Time and Tide Museum for the morning and were allowed to handle lots of artefacts! We focused on fossils and we all touched a mammoth fossil as well as many others. We then drew the fossils and looked at other areas of the museum, looking for things that were artefacts and remains. We even saw an ancient Egyptian mummy hand!

Thank you to the Time and Tide Museum for a wonderful day!

We learnt about mummification in History today. We found out that it took 70 days to create a mummy and it was to stop the body from rotting. We also learnt that they worn jewelry underneath the bandages to protect them in the afterlife. We made our own beautiful Egyptian jewelry.

We had a Royal Wedding Party this afternoon.

We decorated our own cake as a class, we did a Union Jack. We also made our own hats and flags for the party. We had lots of food at the party and we all got very excited when there was two planes fly past and did a loop the loop!

We learnt about the pyramids in ancient Egypt. We learnt that they are burial places for Pharaohs and that they took a very long time to make! We then made our own 3D pyramids. We worked together if we got stuck and had lots of fun!

We have started learning about the seven different nutrients that humans need to eat – Protein, Fats, Carbohydrates, Fibre, Water, Vitamins and Minerals. We have learnt about the different good things they help our body to do.

We tried some different fruits with high amounts of the different nutrients.
