This week has been a short week for us all, but we have still been busy.
We were very lucky as the West Lothian Museum people gave us an online lesson on the Egyptians. The lady showed us artefacts and told us lots of interesting facts about them and the Egyptians. Here are some of the facts we liked best:
Emily – Scarabs were in the bandages with people when they were mummified.
Roman – They used Canopic Jars to store their hearts in.
Maison – Egyptians used to wear straw sandals.
Gracie – They wore masks when they died because they needed to know who they were to be brought back to life.
Lacey – They wear jewellery so that nothing bad happened.
Shay – They had little blue statues called Shabtis
Summer – Egyptians slept without a pillow, they used a neck rest instead.
Derry – They thought cats protected them.
We created a new explanation text on the role of a nurse. This gave some super discussion again and some of us even learned something new. We have included some of our pieces below:
We are still working hard on our times tables, with this week having a focus on all of our tables. Here are some of our thoughts:
Holly – I have learned the 9x table.
Ciaran – I have learned most of the tables. They are getting easier!
Rihanna – I think the times tables are getting easier the more I practise them.
Hadiyaah – I feel that times tables are tricky but once you start learning them slowly, they get easier.
Erin R – I think that once we move onto Division it will be really easy as we already know our tables.
Emily – I feel like multiplication is a bit harder than division.
Thank you for reading about our week!
