We have been busy learning about Ancient Egypt. We have created our own pyramids using nets, straws and also lego bricks.

We have also been learning how to be ready for emergencies by learning how to help a conscious or unconscious casualty. We can tell you what signs to look for and how to put someone into the recovery position.

We are also using ICT to learn our 3D objects and 2D shapes. We can tell you about pyramids and also pentagons, hexagons and octagons.
