Today we followed the steps to create our own mummy! First we had to hook the brain and remove it, then put the other organs in canopic jars. Next we dried the bodies with salt and spices. Then we wrapped the body in linen strips. Finally we added a death mask and put them into their sarcophagus! 🐫⚱️

This week Miss McCartney taught us how to code using Scratch Jnr. We followed her steps to make our character move around in space. We then had a chance to create our own designs. 👨‍💻📱🐱

I think the rule p4m enjoy breaking the most is opting out of a lesson! Unsurprisingly most chose to opt out of maths which left me with this little group of keen maths beans! This small group chose to opt out of HWB instead 😄 thank goodness it’s over for another year! 😮‍💨

Oh no 🙅🏼‍♀️ not this time of year again!! Break the rules day is back 😰 Hope you are all looking forward to it p4!

Thank you to @misssteelehps.bsky.social who set up this beautiful still life art activity for us last week 🌷💐🌼 we learned about still life, studied then sketched the shapes, colours and textures we could see! Then we used pastels or water colour to complete our artwork.
