Mummification!

As if learning about Ancient Egyptians wasn’t exciting enough, 4R have mummified oranges learning about the process of embalming and mummification!

Remember to put your ‘mummy’ in a warm dry place at home and check on it every week.  Comment below with your observations!

 

Are you up for a challenge?

What a yummy treat Oscar, Well done.
Mrs Whinnett 🙂

  Following on from Mrs Whinnett’s PSHE lesson on initiative, you have been set the challenge of showing us how you use your initiative outside school. Ask someone to take a photo of you to show us how you have completed the challenge and add it to this post with a description of what you did.

Top tips:

Don’t wait to be told – be a Self starter!

Wow! Ancient Egypt!

Our first History lesson this term really had the wow factor as we welcomed back Catherine Hammond for a workshop about Ancient Egypt. What did you learn about the Ancient Egytians today?

Year 4 Visit the Abbey!

We visited the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban, to learn more about what life was like for the monks there during the reign of King Henry VIII.  We took part in a brass rubbing workshop and completed the ‘Dissolution Trail’.  What did you learn today?

Palidromic Numbers!

For those who enjoyed today’s palindromic number challenges…

Start with a 2-digit number such as 32

Reverse it and add the result to the original number 32 + 23 = 55

After one reversal you get a palindromic number!

 

Try another 2-digit number such as 57

Reverse it and add the result to the original number 57 + 75 = 132

It is not palindromic, so reverse the answer and add it again:

132 + 231 = 363 – after two reversals it is palindromic!

 

CHALLENGE:

How many palindromic numbers can you find after one reversal?

How about after two reversals?

After three reversals?

After more than three reversals?

(HINT: 89 and 98 both take 24 reversals to make them palindromic!!)

 

Good luck!
