I do hope you've all had a lovely Whit holiday and are ready and the children are raring for our last term. This half term we're whizzing back in time to the Ancient Egyptians. The children will be learning about this advanced civilization, using hieroglyphics, finding out about Howard Carter, pharaohs and the importance of the River Nile and making a shaduf.

I cannot believe we are on our final half term before year 6 move on to their new secondary school. Please read our new topic information for Summer 2: 'Why were the Mayans magnificent'? Please note the important dates on our topic overview which is on our class blog including the end of year dates for your diary. I have also ttached the home learning grid with more opportuntities for learning from home. Please remember that the creative homework task is to be completed by 26th June.

Year 6 had a fabulous morning in Gorse Hall today as a treat for their hard work leading up to SATS.

An exciting theme based on Ancient Greeks links well with our PE sports's week because of course the Olympics took part in Ancient Greek times. We end the year learning about history from Ancient times and also about the Geography linked with Greece and what better way to feel like we are in Greece but to plan and make a healthy Greek salad using our Food Technology skills.

We look forward to seeing children's home learning projects which will be displayed in our Year 3 Ancient Greek Museum.
