Ancient Egyptian fashion

This week we learnt about the fashion in Ancient Egypt. Once we had learnt about it all we had the chance to dress up in a wealthy Egyptians outfit. Unfortunately, we couldn’t dress up like Ancient Egyptian children as they used to wear NOTHING!

Tomato update!

During last weeks science lesson, Year 3 and 4 checked on their mummified tomatoes to see if the mummification was working in comparison to our test tomato.
