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.
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.
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.
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.
