In Y3 children have been making papyrus – a type of paper that was first made in Ancient Egypt for writing.  The children then decorated their papyrus using oil pastels to produce colourful images of famous Egyptian Gods. The children had a great time and discovered how intelligent the Ancient Egyptians were as they traded with items made from papyrus throughout the Mediterranean.

The children in Y3 enjoyed an inspirational visit from ‘That History Bloke’, who taught the children about the role of a Pharaoh, the amazing pyramids and the process of mummification. Everyone enjoyed writing in beautiful hieroglyphics and playing some exciting Egyptian games!

The Y3 children enjoyed a unique World Book Day that involved children learning in school and at home. Children designed masks that represented one of their favourite books and took part in a wide variety of Literacy activities. One of the activities involved learning writing tips from famous authors; I’m sure many of our Y3 children will go on to become fantastic writers in the future!

Y3 have worked incredibly hard this term in all of their subjects and Miss Moffett and I are extremely proud of you all! Here are some images of the children being creative and active at home and in school. Enjoy your half term with your families!
