History- Over the last term, we have learned a lot about Egyptian religion, mummification and the pyramids, hieroglyphics and lots more. This week, I would like you to think about what daily life would be like for an average child like yourself. You can find some information here to add to what you have already learned
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zg87xnb/articles/zr4s8xs
and I would like you to write an account of your day as a diary entry or draw and write a comic strip version of your day.
If you want to test your knowledge of Ancient Egypt, you can take some fun quizzes here

Good luck!
Science- Watch the video showing a series of experiments showing the effects of different drinks on teeth. Can you write a conclusion for what you have found out.

Science/creative- Look at the patient leaflet designed by Colgate to teach children about keeping their teeth healthy. Could you design your own leaflet to teach your younger brother or sister or someone in year one or Reception at school.
I.C.T-For our last Digital Literacy lesson learn all about whether sources of information you find on the internet are reliable. Watch and read the information on the website below and create a top tips poster for how to find reliable information when using the internet to research.
