First week back

This week the boys have been exploring electricity in Science. They looked at mains and battery power. They sorted different objects according to their power supply.

In Maths we have worked on column subtraction without regrouping and word problems involving the operation of subtraction.

In History we learnt that the Ancient Egyptians introduced the first writing system. They used a series of symbols and signs called hieroglyphics. The boys explored writing their names in hieroglyphics!

Can you write a sentence or two using hieroglyphics at home? The symbols are on the sheet below.                   

In Art we looked at the artist Henri Matisse. He developed an individual style called ‘Drawing with Scissors.’ He found this easier that painting as he got older.

Below is a photo of all of the boy’s amazing takes of his style.

Remember to keep on learning your lines and the songs for our Christmas production.

Enjoy bonfire night but remember to stay safe.

Have a lovely weekend

  1. I loved making my art picture because it was so fun. I really liked learning how Egyptians become mummies!

    1. The art lesson on ‘drawing with scissors’ was good fun Andreas I agree.
      I am pleased you enjoyed our lesson on the Ancient Egyptians.
