The Mummy's Curse - Session 14 - Worksheet

The 'Mummy's Curse' worksheet for Session 14 is an educational resource aimed at stimulating critical thinking and creativity among KS2 students. Set on the 5th of April, 1923, the session provides a series of discussion questions that delve into the characters' perspectives within the story. For instance, students are prompted to consider why Aidan suspects 'something funny' is happening, how the time-thieves influence Monsieur Lacau's decisions, and Luna's view of Lady Carnarvon. Additionally, a thought-provoking debate on whether the time-thieves should alter past events encourages students to engage with ethical considerations and the consequences of time travel.

The worksheet also includes a variety of reading and grammar activities. Students are encouraged to continue a timeline tracking key events, predict future occurrences, pose questions about the time-thieves' mission, and complete a reading comprehension exercise. The grammar section, named 'Grammar Hunt', focuses on identifying and using expanded noun phrases, dashes, hyphens, direct speech, and commas. A 'Words to Workshop' segment challenges students to understand and use a selection of advanced vocabulary words. Writing opportunities are presented through crafting a news report on Lord Carnarvon's death and composing a diary entry from Lady Carnarvon's perspective. The session is enriched with cross-curricular links that span subjects such as Science, Computing, History, Geography, Design and Technology (DT), Music, Religious Education (RE), and Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience that extends beyond the primary narrative.
