This term we have continued learning about the Ancient Egyptians. In this particular lesson the children learned all about the mummification process. After researching and learning about this aspect of ancient Egyptian life, the children used drama and presentation skills to illustrate what they had learned.

At the end of every topic, the children create their own projects to help display the multitude of skills and knowledge they have acquired throughout the previous 2 terms. This Spring term’s topic on Ancient Egypt really caught the children’s imagination and creativity. As you can see, they have produced some amazing flourish projects. When quizzed on their learning, all of the children in Year 6 were able to explain and share so much information- it was amazing to hear! Well done Sycamore Class.

As part of Science week, Sycamore Class visited The Archbishop’s School in Canterbury. Here, the children took part in a practical lesson, learning all about Bunsen burners and reading thermometers. They then created their own sparklers, using the Bunsen burners and iron filings. The trip was great fun. The Year 6’s were a real credit to our school whilst travelling to Canterbury (on the public bus) and while at The Archbishop’s School. Well done Year 6.

Being part of a Thrive school means that lots of children get to take part in groups that teach children many important social, emotional and life skills in general. The children in this Term’s Thrive group had a great time learning all about life skills and getting ready for Secondary School and beyond.
