This week Team Cialis started an observation experiment to see which materials will preserve a mummified tomato best.
The children have been learning about how the Ancient Egyptians mummified pharaohs. Real life pharaohs were embalmed with salt, and oils. Ask your children what their predictions are.
We had an amazing day in Canterbury at the Beaney and Roman Museum. Team Cialis were SO well behaved!
We started off the day looking at, and categorising some real Roman Artefacts that have been found around Kent.
.
Then we looked around the Beaney museum. We even found some artefacts from Ancient Egypt, including a mummified cat and canonic jars!
After lunch, we walked across to the Roman Museum where we fired Catapults and minted our own Roman Coins.
Well done to all the children. We hope they had a fantastic day and that they learnt lots of facts that we can use over the next couple of weeks.
This Term, our Topic is Blasts from the Past. The children have loved learning about Ancient Egypt so far! Now it is time to take some of that learning home and extend our knowledge!
The activities attached are a guideline. Children can choose to present their work in a way that is most useful to them!
I hope you have fun! And I look forward to seeing what you've learnt!
Attached are the spellings for this week.
Please practice and bring your sheet in on Friday.
This week, during Personal Development Week, we have been asking lots of BIG questions about our mental health and well-being. On Thursday, we explored the question: Does exercise make me happy?
We began by looking at the 5 Steps to Wellbeing (5 Steps to Wellbeing Animation - YouTube) which suggests that activity can boost our well-being. The children also learnt about endorphins and how these can boost our mood during and after exercise.
Finally, we tested the question. Does exercise actually make us happy. During a quick workout the children were beaming ear-to-ear and so excited to be moving. We managed to prove that exercise really does make us happy (tired but happy)!

So a new year is upon us! Happy New Year to all of you and your families. I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas Break. I look forward to hearing about everything you got up to!
I am looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow! We've got lots of great things to learn this term! I hope that you'll enjoy them!!
