Today we were really excited because we had wrote a list as a class of all the adults in school that we would like to read a story to us. Suddenly Mr Murphy arrived holding a parcel wrapped up, he told us that he had to come to share his favourite book with us. It was called The Paper Bag Prince, it was lots of fun and exciting to have Mr Murphy read to us especially as he hadn’t read to us before!

So when Miss Mulkit and Miss Mortimer told us there was a suprise  I never imagined that ! The Paper Bag  Prince was really exciting as it had lots of super pictures in that all told a different story. We think that if you read this book you would really enjoy it. We hope that we have another visitor come to our class to read as we have sent out invitations to them!

Today in topic we looked at some different Egyptian artefacts. We held them and thought about what they could be.

In topic we have been learning about Egyptian jobs. I enjoyed making our poster to tell the children in my class all about Priests. It was hard to only use 5 words.

We have been looking at the stories Theseus and the Minotaur and Perseus and Medusa. We used a text map to re-tell the stories using actions to help us make a good performance.

We have watched different performances and created a WILF of the most important things to consider when performing.
Have a look at the performances and tell us what you think.

Today in literacy we had a battle when we performed our text map.

We have been looking at what makes a good performance. We have watched performances by lots of different poets and created our own wish list for being great performers. We used the poem ‘ I’m walking with my iguana’ and we created our own animal.
Have a look and tell us what you think.

On Tuesday we went to Egypt we had to make a passport and get a visa or else we wouldn’t be allowed into Egypt. It was fun because we went on the boat it was so bumpy and funny. Also we saw Egypt it was dusty and sandy all the children had so much fun on the boat, the sea was shimmering beautifully, we saw black, dark caves and pyramids.

On the way home we used some Egyptian money to buy a postcard and we wrote to our families to tell them Ll about what we had seen on our trip to Egypt.

When we finally arrived back to school it was a lot cooler here because in Egypt the weather was very hot and sunny. Have a look at the photographs and you will see us on our adventure.
