We had a great afternoon learning about ‘Looking Good in Ancient Egypt’ with Museum on the Move. The Ulster Museum delivered a box to our school with Ancient Egyptian artefacts for us to learn about. We joined up with Michael on Microsoft teams where we had the chance to look at the items in class while he told us all about them. We also made paint from coloured stones and drew our favourite artefact.

Synonyms are words which are similar in meaning. 

We moved through the space and searched for the verbs poster which showed verbs similar in meaning to the one on our circular verb word card so that we could match them correctly.

We really enjoyed watching the new Wonka movie together at the cinema. It was a great show!

A big well done to Kristof and Cameron, who won the colouring competition for our class at Drumglass High School pantomime performance.
