Welcome to Panshanger School and to our Year 4 class. On this page, we post photos every half term sharing updates on the activities and learning the children are completing. 

Autumn 1

In History, Year four were learning about how ancient Egyptians mummified their dead! We used a life-sized doll to practice the different stages such as removing the organs, placing amulets on the body for good luck and wrapping it up with linen strips. It was lots of fun!

In this unit the children have also enjoyed learning about the pyramids, the main Egyptian Gods and Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamun. We also explore how the ancient Egyptians used the river Nile which linked closely with our Geography work on the Desert environment too!
