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.

Finally, they placed a death mask on it before placing it in a sarcophagus.

Heartstart – Serious Bleeding

Primary 3.1 have been revising their Heartstart training and remembered how to deal with a conscious casualty and an unconscious casualty. We hope they did their homework and put someone in their family into the recovery position and then helped someone that was bleeding.

James-I liked getting my friends into the recovery position.

Femke-I enjoyed learning how to stop serious bleeding.

Polar Lands – Handling Data

I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains.
MNU 1-20a
I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others’ criteria. MNU 1-20b
Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale. MTH 1-21a

We have been gathering information, recording it in tables then making bar graphs, Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams. We have also been reading from pictographs and making our own.

We also used a spreadsheet on the computer to input information then make a bar graph.

Luke-It was really fun making my diagram.

Macy-It was really fun making my own diagram and helping my classmates with theirs.
