FRIDAY 3RD MARCH 2017 GORDONBROCK WEEKLY

Museum of Ancient Egypt To showcase their fantastic

learning all about Ancient

Egypt, Year 3 organised and

showed parents around their

very own museum. The

children were excellent tour

guides and demonstrated

everything that they have

been doing over this term in

Topic. We wrote our own

invitations which in the

words of year 3, promised,

“jazzy jewellery,

mesmerising mummies, and

amazing artefacts!” Our

visitors especially enjoyed

dressing as pharaohs for the

Ancient Egypt photo booth

and making their own canopic

jars from clay. A big thank you

from all the children to everyone

who came along!

Year 3 Class Teachers

Music News.. This week, we were really excited to

welcome ‘Quintetta’ into school—a five-piece

brass ensemble from the Guildhall School of

Music and Drama.

They put on a concert for everyone in school,

and shared some facts about their

instruments with us.

We particularly enjoyed their performance

of ‘Maria’ and ‘Under the Sea’.

We all left feeling inspired and motivated to

practise our instruments at home!

Book review by Isobel, Sapphire 4

I really enjoyed this book, so I

recommend that you read this

book. It’s all about a girl who goes

to a zoo and feeds the penguins

and when she runs out of fish, she

decides to throw the bucket!

My favourite part was when she

throws the bucket.
