We watched an Author’s Live event featuring the Scottish author and illustrator, Emily MacKenzie. She showed us how to draw one of the characters from her book.

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.
P3.1 Presentations
We made and presented fabulous rainforest and polar lands models.

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.
Show and Tell
