P4 – Mummification Experiment (Week 2)

We have been having lots of fun learning all about Ancient Egypt. We are now onto week 2 of our mummification science experiment and this week we had to vacate the classroom because things were getting stinky!! The mummified objects are now looking smaller, browner, thinner, and wrinkly and have no water or juice left in them. The non-mummified objects are very smelly, mouldy, and green and have liquid oozing out of them. If you look at our pictures can you tell the mummified objects from the non-mummified objects?

Dyslexia Friendly School – Wear it Blue!

As part of our No Pens Wednesday on the 4th of October each pupil will be asked to come to school wearing something blue! This doesn’t have to be their normal blue school jumper – it can be anything! The more adventurous the better!

Throughout that day and leading up to it we will have blue ribbons on sale that can be yours in exchange for a small donation.

Let’s break down the barriers to learning together.
