These magnificent Stonehenge projects were completed at home by the children from Beech Class as a result of their learning during the autumn term. This enrichment activity built on what they already knew about the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age, ignited their curiosity and engaged other members of their family who undoubtedly enjoyed the challenge as well!

Beech Class Timetable Summer 2023Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx
The children have really enjoyed using Joe Todd Stanton’s books in class to inspire their own writing! Most recently ‘Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx’ was used alongside our Ancient Egyptian Topic and they loved it! So much so that it inspired a budding animator to create an animation of one of the scenes from the book, the moment Marcy heads into the Sphinx with Ra’s sun eye lighting the way! Click on the picture to watch the animation.

Beech Class are always extremely busy from the moment they step foot in the
classroom, whether working hard to learn times tables or completing activities from their Read Write Inc. spelling books!
Our topic lessons are a definite favourite and this term we are learning 
about the Ancient Egyptians, considering how the civilisation changed and developed over time, considering how crucial the River Nile was to their lives and locating numerous important moments as well as finding out about the gruesome process of mummification!
Here is a photograph of the recent art activity where the children constructed their own shadufs, used by the Ancient Egyptians to water their crops once the floods had receded.
Within literacy, it has also been great to link our work to the Ancient Egyptians! The class has really enjoyed reading Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx by Joe Todd-Stanton which is full of amazing words and illustrations and really captured their imagination! Here is a youtube link to the story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M_gNi-QyZA which I’m sure people from all ages will thoroughly enjoy! The children had the opportunity to write creatively, describing characters, making predictions and considering what happens after the end of the story…
Our new book, Mouse Bird Snake Wolf by David Almond, has already captivated the class and
links beautifully with our work in Religious Education about the ‘Creation Story’ and ‘Our Wonderful World’. Have a listen to this brilliant song by Louis Armstrong which has inspired the class and encouraged them to find wonderful items and take lovely pictures in our outside areas! They also have the opportunity to enjoy our local environment when they have an afternoon every three weeks taking part in Forest Schools activities. So far they have found and identified leaves, made leaf prints, utilised the mud
kitchen, climbed, built dens and made a fire to roast marshmallows! Very exciting indeed!
Across all our lessons, we encourage children to be increasingly independent, maintain high expectations of content and presentation, challenge themselves accordingly but most of all be engaged and enjoy their learning!
