Latest News - Year 5/6
Everyone looks so well!
We had Constable Lorraine visit our school today from the PSNI, talking to our KS2 children about some important topics. Lorraine talked about the importance of not talking with or playing games with strangers online, and not sharing personal details or photos with anyone online. We also discussed the dangers of carrying prohibited items and how to keep ourselves safe from peer pressure. The children all enjoyed the visit - thank you Lorraine!
As part of our topic, we have been learning all about mummification during ancient Egyptian times. We used a tomato for our ‘body’ and followed most of the steps for mummification.
1. We washed our body
2. Removed the inside of the tomato (the organs)
3. Covered it in natron salt to preserve.
We will observe how our tomatoes change over time and compare them with a tomato that has not been mummified!
Thank you to Ciaran, who told Y5/6 all about the dangers associated with fire and how to keep safe on the lead up to Halloween.
