Class 4 is made up with children from Years 4 and 5. Our class teacher is Mrs Foley and our teaching assistant is Mrs Hagger.

We hope you enjoy reading about the work we've done so far this term!
Each week we 'Escape to Egypt' to find out about life in Ancient Egypt. We have learnt about hieroglyphics and practised being scribes like the children of Ancient Egypt.

We received a letter asking us to produce an advert for Mr. S. Phinx Estate Agency. We found out a lot about Ancient Egyptian housing and then wrote an advert for the newspaper. Would you like to buy this house?

In RE we have been thinking about rules for life and how they are important in our world. After a discussion we decided a world without rules was not the kind of world we wanted to live in. We ranked The Ten Commandments in order of importance and then wrote our own rules for life, which we wrote on to a tablet of stone.

In Literacy we are studying explanation texts. We learnt about the process of mummification and acted it out to help us to understand it.

We then wrote a lecture to apprentice embalmers to explain the process to them.
