Year 4 began their History and Geography topic in the first week of term by learning about the river Nile and its importance to Ancient Egyptian people. After discovering its location on a map, the children made wheels to illustrate Akhet, Peret and Shemu, the three seasons of farming. Our enthusiastic Egyptologists did a fantastic job of adding decoration and split pins to create their wheels. Next week, Year 4 will continue to learn about Egypt in class, as well as creating artwork and beginning to learn an Egyptian dance. Great work Year 4!
