Mummification and News Reports

Year 3 and 4

Children in year 3 and 4 have been writing a fact file on mummification linked to our work in history and English. As part of our curriculum work, appreciate, participate and innovate, this shows children starting to innovate. They have the knowledge of the topic, and they were tasked with presenting it however they like in order to best communicate their ideas.

Children in Years 3 and 4 have been working on their 'Discover' Arts Award, an introductory award, certified by Trinity College, London. The children had to participate in a range of activities, from identifying arts words, creating their own work and discussing it with others. They collected evidence of their work in oog books which were sent to Trinity College to be certified. We are delighted to announce that everyone who participated on the day passed their award, and the certificates will be with us shortly. Congratulations to all of the children - your work was highly praised by the assessors!

Year 5 and 6

To show our understanding of a character's emotions, we created black out poetry. Using a page from the text, Swimming against the storm, we selected key phrases or words to show how Eliza was feeling about her sister Avery going missing.

In English this week, we responded to our text by creating our own news reports. The children performed their reports to the class and were even filmed!
