Year 5 Enjoy Egyptian Themed Shared Education!

6th Feb 2026

Year 5 had a fantastic time taking part in their Egyptian‑themed Shared Education lessons with Holy Trinity Primary School. Pupils enjoyed learning together on both school campuses, making the experience even more special.

Throughout the project, the children explored a range of exciting activities, including:

  • Writing their names using hieroglyphics
  • Cracking hieroglyphic codes
  • Playing Egyptian‑themed Battleships
  • Creating artwork inspired by Ancient Egyptian gods
  • Using Minecraft to design and build their very own pyramids

The pupils had great fun and showed wonderful enthusiasm during every task. Best of all, lots of new friendships were made as the two schools learned and worked together.

Well done, Year 5!
