As we were really busy preparing for assembly we did not blog last week, so this one catches up with both weeks!!
Our assembly was about Ancient Egyptians. We have learnt so much and still have lots more to learn about! For our Assembly, we performed a dance to ‘Walk Like An Egyptian’ and we will also be perforn=ming this dance at the Dance Festival next week. We worked very hard to learn the moves and put them together for the dance. It was tricky but worth it in the end!
What we enjoyed about assembly:
‘Singing the song because it had a catchy rhythm.’
‘The dancing because the moves were tricky to learn.’
‘When Rahotep and his assistant came out because they made us laugh’
‘Being a narrator.’
‘Burning my hand on the poker because I got to run around and it was funny!’
‘Getting to say “He started it!”‘
P3B would like to say a big thank you to Mrs White and Mrs Murray who made our costumes and applied our eye makeup.
We made all our props and accessories, including our necklaces, bracelets, cuffs, masks and headdresses.
As part of literacy, we were learning how to perform in front of an audience. This was tricky as there were many parts we had to remember! We had to remember to speak clearly and not mumble, to listen to others – especially as this was also the cue for us to perform different parts in our assembly, to understand and read how a script works and of course to have fun and enjoy ourselves when performing for our audience!
As part of our topic maths, we were learning about The Pyramids and we then built our own pyramids – from sugar cubes. We had to measure the pyramids in centimetres. They look great! They are a lot like the very first pyramid built which was known as a step pyramid and was built for the Pharaoh Djoser.
Here are some pictures including an aerial view!
In writing, we are writing a fictitious story about what happens when we time travel back to Ancient Egypt! We will hopefully be turning this into a book!
We also made Easter Cards for our troops.
We are now looking forward to our performance at the Dance Festival next week! Wish us luck!
