Here's the latest from the Ancient Egypt wiki...
Do we only know about them (the Ancient Egyptians) from hieroglyphics on papyrus paper?
Have a look here and add your own findings to our class knowledge.

Easter and Songkran
The assembly in school on Friday told us how we could get ready for Songkran.
Today Maisie and I were blowing eggs...we made holes in both ends of the eggs, wiggled a toothpick around in the egg to loosen up the insides (a bit like what the Ancient Eggyptians(!) did with the brains of people they were about to mummify) and blew out the contents. We then painted them.
How are Eggs and bunnies connected to Easter? Have a look here.
Have a look at the wiki we have been taking part in, along with The Smarties, a class in Australia and many other classes around the world. The aim was to discover how people celebrate Easter. As Songkran is celebrated in Thailand, I said we would write about Songkran instead. Well done to those children who sent in writing to be included: Punn, Annabel, Richie, Cane, Laure and Toby.
Have a happy Easter OR Songkran.

T Ball Success
Lesser known cousin of baseball and softball, Tball is a game which we have been learning in PE.
Here are some photos from our very successful TBall championship at school today.
The 3W girls team won and the boys came second. Great teamwork, strategy making, communicating, persistence and fun! Well done!
