‘There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.’ Jessica

‘There are 30 minutes in half an hour’ Ashton

‘There are 15 minutes in one quarter of an hour’ Faith

  • ‘We used clay and paint to make our scarab beetles’ Hannah
  • ‘The scarab beetle was a sign of life and Egyptians wore it to protect them from evil’ Sarah
  • ‘We moulded the clay in to different shapes to make the scarab beetles’ Ava R
