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.
Google Classrooms
We have been working collaboratively with P6 to make a polar lands and a rainforest PowerPoint for our P3 assembly.
World Book Day
We all enjoyed dressing up as our favourite book character for World Book Day. We found out about how authors describe characters and we studied Mr and Mrs Twit from The Twits by Roald Dahl.
There was a World Book Day assembly and we had to guess what books went with the illustrations we were shown.
We also made book covers of our favourite books. We had to include the title, author, write the blurb on the back and illustrate it. We are going to make a book buddy and display them in our library corner.
Great Grammar!

We have been learning about nouns, verbs and adjectives. We made posters to show what each one means. Here are some of our posters.
Polar Lands

By exploring a natural environment different from my own, I can discover how the physical features influence the variety of living things. SOC 1-13b
We have been learning about the people that live in the polar lands.
Scotland

We explored the features of the Scottish landscape and compared it with different environments around the world.

Using digital technologies responsibly I can access, retrieve and use information to support, enrich or extend learning in different contexts. TCH 1-02a
We also carried out research in ICT and found out some interesting facts about Scotland.
Sharing Our Learning
Primary 3.2 wrote a book called ‘The Day the Pencils Quit.’ As we had been using punctuation to help us read with expression, we invited P1 to hear our story. We used expression to read a page each.
Primary 1 then sang us some songs they had been learning.
COPY AND PASTE
Over the last few weeks we have been opening a document, typing, copying and pasting and inserting Clip Art. We also had to resize the picture and save our document.
Andrew – I used Clip Art to put football pictures on my page.
Lauren – Resizing the picture was really hard.
Albie – I resized the picture all by myself.
Show Racism the Red Card
We have been discussing how we are all different and special in our own way. We also made posters to Show Racism the Red Card.
Jessica – It doesn’t matter what we look like we are all the same underneath.
Alex – We can all have differnt things we can do.
Andrew – We used capital letters for emphasis in our posters.
