Term 3

We've started mummifying our fishy pharaohs! The first stage involved slicing open the fish and removing its organs. As you can see from our faces, it was really interesting but a bit gross!

Our new topic for this term is called 'Big Bangs' and is centred around Earth and Space. We will be exploring scientific aspects such as our Solar System, day and night, the phases of the moon and space exploration.
