Chipping Ongar Primary School Oak Class

Oak Class (Year 3) is taught by Miss Albiston, the class teacher, and Miss Ireland and Mrs Banks, the teaching assistants.

Recently, we have been learning all about Ancient Egypt and have discussed Tutankhamun's tomb in great detail. We dressed up as part of our Egyptian day and made jewellery inspired by Egyptian designs.

We also had a great time making our own 'yummy mummies', which are pastries that were plaited and wrapped up to look like a mummy, with a chocolate spread centre and eyes for effect.

We had to be very careful using equipment, rolling out the dough with a rolling pin and cutting the parts of the plait with a knife.

Oak Class have been performing to a wider audience by learning short poems and adding actions. We have had a lot of fun working on these poems and trying to improve them by using tone, expression, gestures and voice projection. We read the poem 'Mix A Pancake' by Christina Rossetti and added a few of our own lines for fun!
