What’s Been Happening in ………….. Rosen
Class
Rosen class have had a very exciting week learning about the Egyptians. In literacy we have
been working really hard on creating our own versions of the Egyptian Cinderella. We had to
create stories using paragraphs and thinking carefully about vocabulary choices. Our
challenge was to create exciting storylines thinking carefully about the settings and
characters we created. We came up with some fantastic stories and Mrs Hemsworth was
very impressed!
“I had fun writing our own Egyptian Cinderella story and changing the characters.” Summer
“I had an incredible lesson learning how to write a story.” Marinella
In Forest School, we learnt that the Egyptians made salt dough decorations so we had a go
at it for ourselves. First we had to put salt and flour into a bowl and then we slowly added
water.
“In Forest School I loved making salt dough decorations. I made an ankh and a pyramid. I had
a lovely time doing it and I cannot wait to paint it.”
Saskia
“We made Egyptian decorations. I made a pyramid. We made our own salt dough. We had to
add a secret ingredient!” Ellis B
In Geography we were busy comparing the differences between Egypt and England. We now
know that Egypt is more than 90% desert and incredibly hot. Whereas England is mainly flat
and very wet.
“I hope I get to visit Egypt one day as I now know that Egypt is one of the hottest countries
in the world.” Anita
We are looking forward to learning lots more about the Egyptians over the next few weeks!
Big Schools’ Birdwatch
We are taking part in the RSPB ‘Big School’s Birdwatch’ this year. We will be looking but the
builders might frighten a few away!!
