Chase

Walt: write an information report.

Egypt

Egypt is in the north of Africa. Egypt has two neighbors on the left and on the right. Libya is on the left of Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Egypt also has a capital city called Cairo. Egypt mostly had 100 pharaohs.

Nile river

The Nile river was the biggest river in Africa. The nile river also flooded. In Autumn the river overflows its banks. When the river floods it brings good soil to the land.

Pyramids

In ancient Egypt The three pyramids of Giza uses to be the tallest structure in the world. The tallest pyramid out of the three pyramids was a pharaoh called Khufu. His pyramid was the tallest pyramid. In modern Egypt king Khufu’s pyramid is still the tallest in Egypt.

Farmers

The farmers in egypt were never angry at the nile river because the farmers always used the nile for its good fertile soil that it brings. The soil will only come when the nile river flooded. The farmers will have to lose their crops. When their crops are gone they will have to wait until the flood in over before they could plant their new crops.

Soccer Math

I am learning about decimals. This game is addition decimals. The levels became harder and harder. I didn’t put an answer because if you click the answer it will disappear quickly. The answer was 6.51. This game was very difficult for me. Next I would try to learn everything about decimals.

Mummification

Walt: write a information report.

In  Ancient Egypt it was believed that mummies will live in the afterlife. Priests were in charge of mummies. In Egypt it was believed that the priest will send the dead body spirits to afterlife. The priest touched the body with  instruments. In a mummy’s body the organs and the brain was removed but the heart remained. The body was salted and dried. Then the body was stuffed with cloth to keep its shape. After the body was oiled and then wrapped tightly to stop the body from rotting. Then the body was placed in a case or a decorated box. The people that were special or the pharaohs were placed in a stoned coffin.

Iliumination: Turtle Pond

I am learning about angles. This game was very interesting for because this game had to have the right units to get to the pond. Then you have to measure to get to the pondI found that this game was difficult and easy. Next I would like to try a very harder game and also I would like to learn more about algebra.

Jump Rope

Walt: write a report.

On the 7th of June Glen Innes had an amazing day of jump rope.

All the classrooms had made up their own routines. It was held in the hall. Friday was just a practice run through. Parents came to enjoy their child skipping along the music. All the kids had lots of energy for skipping.

Every class routine had to have a four or a five minute song. All the songs were amazing. Parents were taking pictures of their child. At Glen Innes the skipping had very amazing tricks.

Intergrating Maths and Topic

Walt:make sense of our learning.

In room 11 we have made paper pyramids. We were doing it because we were studying about pyramids in Egypt. It was very easy making the pyramid. We all were learning about the seven wonders of the ancient world. I was very fascinated by my work. In Egypt the pyramids were man made. It took a lot of work to make giant pyramids. I was also learning Egyptians architecture. I was very difficult to do. But I got one perfect drawing.  

The Egyptian Basket

This is a picture about an Egyptian basket full of crops. There are many kinds of food in the basket. I drew crops that grew in Egypt. The food that I drew was grapes, melons, cucumber, onions, lettuce and barley.
