Hello!

Welcome to Term 2

'Ancient Egypt'

 

Children will carry out an in-depth study of Ancient Egyptian civilisation. They focus on Howard Carter, the archaeologist, and the discovery of Tutankhamun. They use this understanding to write a first-person account of the discovery. Children will learn about the river Nile and how vital it was to ancient Egyptian life.  

This term’s learning will be based on our class book ‘Red Pyramid’. We will use it to inspire our learning across lessons.

In history, children sift and weigh evidence to support/refute historical claims. 

In art, children work with paint to recreate Egyptian art and hieroglyphs. 

In D&T, children create an Ancient Egyptian death mask. 

In computing, children apply understanding of how to stay safe online
