Year 3 at Lewisham’s Hindu Temple

We also used polydron to investigate which shapes are the strongest to build with – triangles! Whilst we looked at this – we used out polydron to identify 2D and 3D shapes.

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!
