Woodlands Academy:
Year 4 and 5 have been looking at the process of mummification in our history lessons. As part of this process, Ancient Egyptians would dry out the body with natron. In our science lesson we investigated how we could do this using our own “natron” which was salt and baking powder. The children (fully equipped with aprons) took out the organs (seeds and juice) from the dead body (tomato) and then covered it with “natron”. Next the children predicted what would happen to the tomato. Some children thought it would change colour, others thought it would shrivel up. We also have a control tomato with no natron to compare our results. We now just have to wait 2-3 weeks to see the results.
Our Multi Academy Trust is a family of schools, who are genuinely committed to collaborative working, sharing the same vision and values and placing children at the heart of every decision we take.
By working together, we will strive to create a genuine partnership that all of our pupils, staff, governors and wider stakeholders are proud to be part of.
We are child-centred, inclusive and ambitious. We expect everyone to act with integrity and be courteous, polite and kind at all times. We value our staff and invest extensively in training.
These values enable us to deliver a high-quality education that not only encourages curiosity, but equips our pupils with the academic outcomes, confidence, ambition and skills to contribute positively to our community and society in general.
