Research, research, research...
We have been researching, reading books and searching on the internet, to be able to answer questions about 'Ancient Egyptian family life'. During our Knowledge Harvest, we asked a lot of questions: How did they construct their houses? How did they start farming? How did they make their clothes? What did they learn in school? etc. Now we are finding answers!
We are working individually, but we are always helpful and kind if someone needs support.
There are many learning targets, both in History, ICT and Art, but we take it step by step and we show our teacher that we are learning new and interesting things the whole time. This IPC unit will also be connected to writing activities in Literacy, since we are reading both fiction and non-fiction, and we are writing and talking a lot about Ancient Egypt. At the moment we write non-fiction texts, reports, but we will also write adventurous stories. You will have lots to read when we are done!
We have also looked at the written language in Ancient Egypt and learned how to write our names in hieroglyphs. During an art lesson we made a name tag in clay. We hope you can read our names when you see them. It might be a bit tricky... You need to know hieroglyphs to be able to read them!
To prepare our next art activity, we have also made papyrus. That was both tricky and a bit messy. But now the papers are dry and we can continue working with them next week! That will be very exciting!
During the whole week we have had lots of fun during break time. We practice dancing almost every break and today we showed what we have learnt so far. There are still pupils here at ISG that get inspired and say that they want to join 'Dance for fun'. That's excellent! We will continue next week!
