Look what we've been up to recently ...
Last half term our main topic focused around the History and Geography of Ancient Egypt. We learnt about the importance and impact of the River Nile and how the ancient civilisation began. We also learnt about the water cycle in preparation for this half terms topic on rivers. We also took part in an african drumming session and was visited by the Wakefield Museum who shared and showed us artefacts from the Ancient Egyptian period. It was very interesting!
