Thu 08 Oct 2020Today Everest have been taken on an amazing journey back though time, to learn about some of the remarkable events that occurred in Ancient Egypt.

After amazing us with his knowledge, images and artefacts from Egypt and his stories of tomb discoveries, we even managed to fit in a spot of dancing and mummification. A truly fantastic day which was enjoyed by all.

Stone Age Day - Shelter Building
Tue 06 Oct 2020In quite possibly the worst weather we could have, Year 3 built shelters to survive the predators and weather of the Stone Age! We worked in teams with limited materials but lots of trees, rocks and sticks. The structures built were fantastic and the children showed excellent creativity and engineering skills. It was very muddy, very wet, but very fun! Which would you choose to live in?

Olympus European Languages Day
Sun 04 Oct 2020On Friday, Olympus became red, black and yellow for the day as we studied German. We were very fortunate to have two virtual visitors: Mrs Newsham’s son, who spoke to us about learning German and answered lots of questions; Mrs Newsham’s friend from Germany, who showed us round a German house and taught us some German. Lots of vocabulary was learnt and some of the class were able to hold a short conversation in a German by the end of the day.
