We designed and made our own shaduf’s which were used by the Ancient Egyptians to collect water from the Nile.

Making Egyptian Death Masks
We enjoyed making Egyptian death masks.
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.
ECO SHOW
We all went to the Eco Show in the school and learned about different ways of travelling to school to be kind to our environment. We also learned about recycling.
P3.1 Presentations
We made and presented fabulous rainforest and polar lands models.

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.
Polar Lands – Inukshuk
Ruby-I enjoyed collecting stones to create my Inukshuk.
Andrew-I enjoyed building it on the ground and having to make it go up.
Polar Lands Memory Mind Mapping
We worked in groups to try to create an exact copy of a poster about the polar lands.
We had to fill in the information on our poster.
Luke-I liked doing my mind mapping because of all the stuff you have to remember.
