Ancient Egyptians

Our topic this half term has been Earliest Civilisations and our focus has been the Ancient Egyptians.

For homework we researched why and how the pyramids were built.  Then we made our own out of Lego, paper, card, papier mache, water bombs, playdough and even gingerbread and cake!

Take a look - they were all fantastic!

Well done Year 3/4!

This half term our Science topic is Electricity.

We started by finding out what we already know.

Then we experimented with wire and batteries to see if we could make a bulb light up.

Shoes Glorious Shoes!

As part of planning our Non-Chronological Reports, we investigated and evaluated lots of different sorts of shoes (kindly lent to us by Miss Bates from her extensive collection!).  
We talked about what the shoes were made from, who they were made for and when they would be worn e.g., on holiday, in the snow, for a party ... 
As our reports will need to be balanced, we also thought about the positives and negatives of each pair of shoes.  
We then started to design our own shoe, aimed at a specific target market, labelling materials, special features etc.
