Mummification
We have been learning about how the Ancient Egyptians mummified the bodies of their pharaohs. First we acted it out and then we wrote instructions on how to mummify the body.
First they washed and cleaned the body and then they removed the brain. Next they made a slit on the left side of the body, removed the internal organs and placed each one in a canopic jar.
They then dried out the body and covered it with natron. It was left for 70 days.
They stuffed the body with linen and then wrapped it.
Finally, they placed a death mask on it before placing it in a sarcophagus.
Heartstart Training
I am learning to assess and manage risk, to protect myself and others, and to reduce the potential for harm when possible. HWB1-16a
We have been participating in Heartstart training and now know how to help a conscious casualty, an unconscious casualty and someone who has cut themselves really badly. We practised putting someone into the recovery position and we even saved Mr Stern.
The Great Kapok Tree
As part of our Rainforest topic we read the story – The Great Kapok tree. It tells the story of all the animals in the rainforest that are losing their homes and are dying because men are cutting down so many trees in the rainforest.
We were split into groups, and each group had to act out a part of the story.
I have experienced the energy and excitement of presenting/performing for audiences and being part of an audience for other people’s presentations/performances. EXA 1-01a
