Term 2 Week 5

Week 5

As we finish week 5 of this term, Christmas is fast approaching and Year 5/6 are beginning to get into the spirit.  The advent calendars are being opened, the classrooms are decorated and we’ve been practicing the carols we look forward to sharing at the start of the Christmas fair on Friday.  We hope to see lots of you there.

As historians (and scientists), Pegasus unwrapped a tomato they mummified about 70 days ago.  It was 70 days that the ancient Egyptians left bodies in a bath of Natron salt.  Our tomato was definitely preserved but we decided the rest of them needed to be left for a bit longer.

As artists, we have been building collages to represent the ancient Egyptian creation story.
