Class 3 - Y3/4 Class News

It has been great to see everyone again after the holidays and it sounds like you all had a great Easter! We have been looking at our new topic this week - ancient Egypt. The children have been looking at where Egypt is on maps and then putting the period we are studying on a timeline. They were amazed to find out how long ago it started and how old the pyramids are - even older than me! 

 
 
 
 
 
 Later in the week Mrs L came in to teach the children all about hieroglyphics. They had to translate some messages and then write their own. The children then thought about how important the writing is to us today and how we can use it to see what life was like in the past.
