In our science topic on light, children have been investigating how shadows can change. We looked at what happens to a shadow when the object moves further away from a light source and also how the angle of the light source changes the length of a shadow. 🔦

What a beautiful, sunny day we had to welcome us back to school! The children loved playing and building in the snow with their friends. We also made a start on our history topic of significant British monarchs, we discussed rules that a monarch might make and debated about if these would be popular rules with the public or not. Tigers were fantastic at debating and provided very convincing arguments to back up their opinions!

We were excited to take part in a fantastic Egyptian workshop! Children enjoyed a variety of activities handling real and replica artefacts from ancient Egyptian life. They designed and made their own clay amulets and cracked the hieroglyphic code! We then looked at different people from ancient Egyptian society – discussing their jobs, lifestyle and clothes. Finally, we mummified Emma! We followed all the different steps such as washing the body, removing the organs and wrapping the body to create the perfect mummy!

Tiger class really impressed our visitor with both their history knowledge and their wonderful behaviour and attitude. Well done Tigers! 🐯
