Liverpool visit

On Monday, the children from Classes 6,7 and 8 were fortunate enough to visit Liverpool’s World Museum as part of their Ancient Egyptian topic! The children had a fantastic time exploring the museum and being able to catch a glimpse of a real life mummy!

Here are a selection of images from the day! Thank you to the children in Miss Todd’s group who took on the role of photographers!

Performing Poetry!

In our English lessons, Classes 6, 7 and 8 have been focusing on poetry! So far this week, we have listened to poetry, wrote our own verb poem and yesterday we practiced performing different types of poetry.

Children were asked to focus on their expression and bringing the poem to life!

Here are some pictures of the children performing poetry! They did a fantastic job.

 

Inside the tomb of Tutankhamun!

Classes 6,7 and 8 have started to learn about the Ancient Egyptians as part our their new topic! We started by looking at the life of Howard Carter and how he discovered the tomb of the famous Egyptian pharaoh, Tutankhamun!

The children were in for a real treat as over the Christmas holidays, the builders discovered a tomb right here in BLS! The children thoroughly enjoyed being able to enter the tomb and imagine what it must have felt like to have been Howard Carter, discovering Tutankhamun’s tomb nearly 100 years ago! Here are some pictures of the children’s discovery!
