New Walk Museum Visit

This week, Year 3 have been visiting New Walk Museum as part of their PBL. They explored the Ancient Egyptian’s lifestyle and rituals by looking at different artefacts and learning about their uses; dressing up as Ancient Egyptians, performing the mummifying process, sorting a meal for an average day. They learnt the reason why we must be very respectful around actual mummies: there were humans buried in those sarcophagus. We thought about how that related to the way Howard Carter behaved.

Which is the best place to live: City or Countryside?

On 7^th December, Year 3 had an exhibition to showcase all their hard work and knowledge on their project ‘Which is the best place to live: City or Countryside?’ The children compared both and decided where they preferred to live through a debate. Thank you to all the parents who managed to visit the exhibition.
