Autumn Term
ANCIENT EGYPT
The Mystery of the Nile

We are looking forward to an exciting autumn term with lots of opportunities. In English our class reading book is The Hunt for the Golden Scarab by MG Leonard. This fits in brilliantly with our history topic focusing on Ancient Egypt and the importance of the Nile. Our trip to the Immersive Tutankhamun Exhibition is on Wednesday 9th September and promises some amazing virtual reality opportunities to explore Tutankhamun’s tomb! In science, children will be learning about materials: comparing, separating and changing with lots of opportunities for practical work.
