Literacy
We've had a fantastic time in literacy writing in role as Howard Carter, as week describe our thoughts and feelings when we discover the ancient tomb of Tutankhamen. Also we only have two more of our jumping orange words to turn green to complete the set before half term: century and certain. Get practising!
History/Literacy
We have also be thinking about whether we should really be opening ancient tombs or not by looking at newspaper article of recent discoveries in China and creating our own arguments based on our opinions. Come and have a listen to some of thoughts in our assembly next week. We created a conscience alley to convince Mrs A of our arguments.
Art
We have been continuing our ancient Egyptian theme in art this week as we got our hand dirty making a clay ushabti. Not sure what a ushabti is? Just ask us and we can explain it all!
Science
The year 3 pupils were busy testing and grouping lots of different types of rocks this Monday. We researched different properties of different rocks using the iPads and conducted three experiments, investigating; durability, buoyancy and permeability. We discussed the results and decided which rock would be the best to build our pyramid out of. Don't forget to check the Mrs Cryan's blog for all the year 2 updates.
In other news...
Don't forget it is our class assembly on Thursday 9th February at 9:15 am. Come and share some of the learning we have been enjoying of the past half-term.
