This week we started to look at some of the Pharaohs that ruled Ancient Egypt and we found some interesting facts in books and on the computer. We found that because the Pharaohs thought they were gods they had to keep their blood line pure, so they married into their own families, which caused problems, disease and deformities. We will be looking at this a bit closer next week, as well as mummification. Some of the children carried out an experiment on decay, which they will complete next week and report back to class. We also create some signs for our museum and we will be adding to these over the next few weeks.

In writing we continued our story of the magic carpet and wrote about how we got the carpet back to Ancient Egypt. We tried to ensure we were writing in sentence, putting in wow and interesting words to describe the journey.

The children said this week …
Alix – I liked gathering information about the Gods and Pharaohs.
Evan – I learned about Compass Points.
Faith, Jamie, Ruby, Demi-Lee and Chloe – liked the Scottish Dancing.
Robbie – I was learning to count up to 31 in French.
Lauchlin – This week I learned that one of the Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs tried to change all the Gods into one God.

Well done P3/4
