The Postal Service 

We learnt that there are different ways to communicate with other people.  First we wrote letters and went to the post office to buy a stamp and post them in the post box.  Then we sent emails and found out this was  quicker than sending a letter.

Our visit to the post office. 
We sent two parcels, one first class and the other second class.  
The first class parcel arrived at school first.

Playing in our own post office. 

The Police Service

Fire Brigade

We had a visit from Fire Fighter Ben.

 He taught us to get down low and crawl outside when we hear the smoke alarm.

Ben showed us his uniform and let us try it on.

Refuge Collectors

God asks us to look after the world He has given us.  One way we can do this is by remembering to put our rubbish in the bin and recycling whenever possible.

Ancient Egypt With Year 3 and 4

Our Visit to Ancient Egypt

We all put on Ancient Egyptian costumes and then looked at the artefacts in the museum.
With the help of ‘Alice' we found out all about what the Egyptians believed and looked at several Egyptian artefacts.


Once we had all put on our Egyptian costumes ‘Alice’ then explained what the Ancient Egyptians believed happened when we die.
The Egyptians would try and preserve the bodies of people by taking out some major organs and then soaking them in salt before wrapping them in cotton and making a ‘mummy’. We made Olivia into a ‘mummy ‘ by wrapping her in bandages. She was very good at laying still for a very long time!!


Finding out facts about Ancient Egypt at the museum.


We looked at the artefacts in the museum to help us find out about life in Ancient Egypt.  They used hieroglyphics to communicate.
