In Creative and Critical Thinking, the Year 4 girls made Egyptian Shadufs (a hand-operated device for lifting water out of the Nile in order to irrigate their crops).

There were many Learning Habits on display; from planning and perseverance, to revising models when the structure wouldn’t balance.
A super lesson to complement our Humanities topic of Ancient Egypt.
