Downs Junior School

During the Autumn term, as Historians, we investigate the incredible Ancient Egyptians. We will take a journey through time to find out about Ancient Egyptian beliefs and how they lived. As writers, we will create our own Egyptian stories and write a newspaper article about the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. We visit the Brighton Museum, seeing Egyptian artefacts in the flesh. We will also put on our own Egyptian Museum at the end of the term to show off our fantastic work to our parents and carers. As mathematicians, we learn mental and written strategies for addition and subtraction, place value (ones, tens, hundreds and thousands) and will apply what we have learned to problem solving and logic investigations. See our ‘Learning Journey’ to find out more.
