In Year 5 we have been planning our own Ancient Egyptian Death Masks ready to papier maché in the coming weeks. These designs have blown us all away! Hartsholme Academy Harbour Learning Trust #Art #DeathMasks #watchthisspace

Following our fantastic designs in Art last week, we are now starting to papier mâché our Egyptian death masks. Here is a fantastic example of the ‘scissor technique’ which removes the excess glue and water. Hartsholme Academy Harbour Learning Trust #HHAArt

We are reading 'The Boy at the Back of the Class’ and we are loving it! Here are some of our reviews: 'I am finding it inspiring, especially with the issues with Ukraine' 'It is a good lesson to give new children space when they join a new school' Hartsholme RfP Hartsholme Academy

Today in Science, we have been investigating which forces impact on certain objects. We started with gravity and buoyancy, and then moved to gravity and air resistance. #Science #HHAScience Hartsholme Academy #fairtest #forces
