Well done to everyone for trying really hard in the races.

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.
I am impressed by all the learning experiences and opportunities that you have participated in. From the amazing models of the Amazonian Rainforest to the extreme habitat of The Polar Lands, you really have been on a journey of discovery.
It is very reassuring to know that you have been revisiting the learning from Hearstart and indeed acquiring new life saving skills and knowledge.
Have a fabulous Spring holiday!
Mrs Toman
We made and presented fabulous rainforest and polar lands models.
Thanks to Amelie for brightening up our classroom with Chinese New Tear decorations and for telling the class all about the celebrations.
Amelie-I got to help out with Mr Zhang and I really enjoyed it.
LI: To learn what shapes will tile
We found out that only shapes with straight edges and corners will tile.
We made different tiling patterns on the computer and by colouring patterns.
LI: To measure volume in litres
We used different sizes of containers to work out which ones held one litre, more than one litre and less than one litre.
We used a measuring jug to measure amounts.
We learned that the amount of space a liquid takes up is called volume and the volume is measure in litres and millilitres.
