History- Last week, we learned about pyramids which was where the Egyptians buried their dead. Archaeologists can tell who is buried in the tomb and what time period it came from by looking for a cartouche. A cartouche is a name plate which only the most important Egyptian citizens had. 
These cartouches belonged to Ramases III
Read the information about cartouches here the-egyptian-cartouche-powerpoint
Then why not have a go at designing your own cartouche?
This website provides some ideas and information to help you

I look forward to seeing your cartouches on Class Dojo!
Science-Now we have finished our electricity learning. Let’s learn about digestion. I hope you enjoyed trying the practical demonstrations to help you understand digestion. Please upload any photos you took to Class Dojo. If you like practical ways to help your understanding, try this week’s digestive system investigation to help you understand how the digestive system works.
