Ancient Civilizations

During the summer term we are learning about the ancient civilizations of Ancient Sumer, The Indus Valley, Ancient Egypt and the Shang Dynasty. We are finding out where in the world they were located and when they took place. We are researching similarities and differences and what their greatest achievements were. We are focusing mostly on Ancient Egypt. In geography we are learning about rivers. We are finding out about rivers locally but also the River Nile in Egypt. In DT we are busy making models of shadufs and in art we are painting portraits of ourselves as pharaohs. Our literacy work this term includes writing non-chronological reports about Tutunkhamun and historical stories about the Egyptian Cinderella.
