Egypt





Hello Everyone,

We all had a great time travelling to France on the Bus. We loved trying all the food and I think it was fair to say croissants and jam were the favourite. The children enjoyed constructing the Eiffel tower out of straws and also making various construction models with the blocks and tubes. 

This week we start the week on Monday with a focus on NSPCC ‘PantS Day’ We will meet Pantosaurus who teaches us how to stay safe and we will sing along to the Pantosaurus song. From Tuesday we will be travelling to Egypt where we will be looking at the culture, cooking and exploring all the ancient things the country has.
We will be playing with moon sand to make pyramids, making salt dough with mark making and toilet roll spinx.
