Last week was a very busy week in Primary 3. We learned about lots of interesting things and in particular we loved learning about Ancient Egypt as part of our topic.

In Maths we learned how to carry out repeated addition and created some fantastic arrays using our whiteboards. We also learned how to do chimney sums using double digits e.g. 55+55=110 etc.

Our writing lessons were fun because we drew a monster and then we used descriptive language to describe it.  We used similes and different openers to make our writing more interesting. To make our monsters more realistic, we had to describe the arms, body shape, eyes, nose and teeth etc. Our Guided Reading  tied in with our topic.

For our topic we have been learning all about Ancient Egypt and some really interesting facts. This has helped us to develop new vocabulary.

We used ICT to create some wonderful power-points about Egypt that we will be showing at our class assembly. A famous pharaoh  was Tutankhamen  and we learned that he wasn’t very wealthy in comparison to the other pharaohs.  In London there is a museum that contains Tutankhamen’s chair.  He was the only pharaoh who had not been robbed from his tomb and a man called Howard Carter found his tomb.

We look forward to sharing more facts next week.
