This week, we have started reading our new English te t, Secrets of a Sun King. The children have been captured by the already exciting story line about a Pharaoh's curse. We have explored the main character, Lil and considered the different feelings she may have at different points in the story so far. 
In PE, Mr Carr was extremely impressed with how well the children in our class listen and have learnt to orientate their map. This helped them to use the 'thumbing' technique in which the children use their thumbs to guide their direction of movement. 

The children were super excited to start our new History topic. We have explored where and when the Ancient Egyptians first appeared, along with 3 other civilisations. The children created their own dual coded mind maps to retrieve information about the Aboriginals, Mesopotamians and Jiahu before writing short sentences about each of the ancient civilisations. We, also, used our locational knowledge from Geography to identify and discuss Egypt's location in relation to the world. 

In Spanish, we have started to understand the difference between using masculine and feminine determiners such as unos, unas, los and las. We have also started learning different colours of the rainbow in Spanish!
