Burghersh Class are taught by Miss Lea, with teaching assistant Mrs Pearce

Our classroom is very unusual as it is located in the almshouses, so the residents are our neighbours. We work in two rooms and have our own bathroom and kitchen!  Our two rooms mean we can work as a whole-class or in smaller groups.  The class windows overlook the cloisters and gardens on one side and the churchyard on the other. We thrive on learning in our unique surroundings.

This term our topic is The Ancient Egyptians, looking at the River Nile and the history of the pharaohs. Our books are The Egyptian Cinderella and Cinderboy. We will be studying them in English, looking at the plots of the stories, how the setting and characters change before writing our own stories, then researching the discovery of Tutankhamun and writing non fiction texts. In maths this term we will be looking at multiplication and division, followed by fractions (and decimals in Yr 4). 

Our other subjects include light in science, dance and tag rugby in PE (with Mrs Seymour), Hinduism in RE and touch typing in computing (with Mr Ottaway). We are learning how to describe ourselves and others in French and, in Music, we are learning the ukulele. Our next topic in the summer term is Rivers.

Our recent trip to the Ashmolean Museum was great fun! We handled real Egyptian artifacts, looked around an Egyptian shrine and saw a mummy in a sarcophagus!
