Tutankhamen's Birthday Party!

Year 3 and 4 came dressed as different Egyptian people for Tutankhamen's party today. We would like to thank all of our parents who worked very hard on the children's costumes. They were wonderful!! The children really enjoyed themselves at the party and then did very well in trying to solve the mystery of who had murdered Tutankhamen! They had to listen to what the suspects were staying and ask them questions to find out which of them was the murderer. We were very impressed with the children! Well done Year 3 and 4. Here are some pictures from the day:

Tutankhamen's Palace - Day 2 and 3!

The children continued to make their role play area yesterday and today. They have really enjoyed making decisions about the materials they want to use and the objects they want to make. Here are some pictures of the children's busy project.

The children had lots more fun using mod-rock to create a large statue.









They continued to make Tutankhamen's bed by weaving wool.










The children painted their clay objects.






They created wall decorations for the palace using pastels.





They created painted boxes using repeated patterns and paint.









The children thought about other objects that could have been in Tutankhamen's palace. They made cups, necklaces, wigs, pictures and thrones.
















We have been so proud and impressed with the Year 3 and Year 4 children. They have been so creative and thought carefully about each decision they have made! Well done Year 3 and 4!
