Last week in Primary Four, we had a lot of fun learning about the mummification process.  We started off by having a go at wrapping up some classmates in ‘bandages’ (toilet paper) to make them into mummies.  The children cooperated very well to wrap their friends up, but by far the most successful teamwork was by Dirko, Yousaf and Subhan.  Dirko and Yousaf worked carefully together to  perfectly banage up Subhan from head to toe, as you can see!

In drama the children acted out some scenes to show some of what they had learned about Acient Egypt so far.  Below you can see they recreated a pyramid scene, with the mummies and treasure found in the tomb.  Some children made themselves into the River Nile, and others stood together to make a pyramid.

In numeracy we have been working on using number facts we already know to work out new facts.  For example, we worked out that if we know 5 + 3 = 8, then 15 + 3 = 18, 25 + 3 = 28, and so on.  Or if 5 + 3 = 8, then 50 + 30 = 80, and 500 + 300 = 800, and so on.   This week we will be learning about adding two-digit numbers using partitioning, and adding three digit numbers to one-digit numbers using number lines.
