Currently, we are reading, ‘Egyptian Cinderella’ by Shirley Climo and ‘So you think you’ve got it bad?’ by Chae Strathie. Using these texts we will be writing an explanation text on the process of making a mummy. We will be looking at the different features of an explanation text and discussing the technical vocabulary we will use.

In Maths…

We are always consolidating prior knowledge. Our unit this half term is time. We will also be looking at addition and subtraction using column method. As always, times tables are an important part of fluency. Why not have a weekly session on TT Rockstars?

In Topic…

We are learning about Ancient Egypt. We will be looking at the different rulers of Egypt, the pyramids and mummification. We have also created our own timeline so we remember how long ago the pyramids were built.
