Nursery Go On A Bear Hunt

The children in Nursery have come back very happy and engaged. We have been welcoming some new children into the class who have all settled in really well. We have been reading 'Going on a Bear Hunt' using props to retell the story and looking at books independently in the book corner.

Reporting from Reception  

Children in Reception practise their oracy and writing skills through role play.  We are not sure what the reports are about but we should be careful!

Egyptian Mummies in Year 3 

As part of their Ancient Egypt topic, Year 3 have been learning the process of mummification.  They acted out the mummification process by washing the body then using a hook to remove their brains. Next, the lungs, liver, stomach and intestines were taken out and put in canopic jars.  After, the body was dried in salt for 40 days and finally wrapped in linen and a death mask was put in place.  

What's the Matter Year 4? 

Year 5 - Cool as Ice! 

Parents and children alike were delighted by Year 5's entertaining assembly, which provided key facts about Arctica and Antarctica.  Their rendition of 'Ice, Ice Baby', adapted to tell the tale of the poles, was such fun that we had to hear it again. 

Well done to the children and teachers. 

Year 6 Explore Evolution

On Tuesday, Year 6 visited the Natural History Museum to find out more about their science topic - Evolution and Inheritance. They learnt what evolution is, how and why it happens and had the opportunity to get hands-on with specimens to work out for themselves why these changes occur. 

All the children were fantastic Ellingham representatives and we are extremely proud of them!
