Egyptian Day

Junipers and Rowans classes had a fantastic Egyptian Day this week immersing themselves in the ancient past. The children travelled back to the time of Pharaoh Akhenaten where they were tasked with helping to prepare the new temple for the Pharaoh. Throughout the morning, the children learnt the skills needed to prepare bodies for the afterlife. They learnt how to make mummies, protection amulets, write their names using hieroglyphics, create tomb art, make bread, make model slaves and more! In the afternoon, the children put on a feast to welcome the Pharaoh to his new temple. The children put on performances of ancient stories including the story of the gods Osiris and Isis and the wax crocodile fable. Throughout the day they even caught temple thieves, stopped a murder plot against the Pharaoh and told the future with a storytelling bull. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the past and developing their knowledge and skills.

Our Reception children, were very lucky to have Michelle Noble-Jones, the author of Manu the Orangutan come and share her story with us. Being an author is Michelle’s hobby, her main job is working for Essex Police. The children found it fascinating that she could have two jobs. She also told them about her trip to Borneo that inspired the book. Here’s the link to the book if you’d like to find out more;https://pegasuspublishers.com/books/michelle-noble-jones/manu-the-orangutan

Nursery were exceedingly lucky to have Tony from Braintree Library come and visit them. He brought in Book Start packs for each child and then read two stories for them. The Gruffalo was definitely a popular choice! Tony mentioned that Braintree Library are encouraging more and more people to come in and spend some time there, they have a lot going on and it can be a fun place to visit. It's not the 'quiet place' that it used to be!
