Maps, Mummies and Marvellous Learning!
Wow! What a busy and exciting first two weeks we have had in Class 4!
Our English work has really come to life as we have begun exploring our new book, The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer. Our adventure started when we received a postcard, which sparked lots of excitement and curiosity!
We have created our own treasure maps, inspired by the map that the magpie stole in the story. Along the way, we have been learning how to use map keys to identify and locate local amenities.
We have also discovered that, while searching for his map, the boy in the story landed in the desert in Ancient Egypt. This gave us the opportunity to learn all about desert environments.
We even had some fun becoming mummies! Working in teams, we had to transform one of our classmates into a mummy. This was a fantastic opportunity to develop our teamwork, communication and listening skills - and there was certainly plenty of laughter along the way!
As well as all our wonderful English learning, we have also been busy in RE. We shared the different celebrations that we already know about and discovered some new celebrations from a range of religions. We are now looking forward to using what we have learned to plan our very own celebration.
What a fantastic start to the half term - we can't wait to see where our learning adventures take us next!
