This game was a little complicated because when it was right it would say it was wrong. But I enjoyed playing the game. All you had to do was to drag the activities on the right unit. First I had to drag the clown space to six units and the see-saw eight units. and the last one ten units. What I would like to learn next is to work on my statistics and strand.
I am a Year 8 student at Glen Innes School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Room 11 and my teacher is Mrs Ramkolowan.

Report/ Ancient Egypt
Devonn Tearikimana
Walt: write an informational report.
Egypt is located north of Africa their neighbours on the east are Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The Mediterranean sea is north from Egypt but the red sea is east of Egypt.
Contribution to time.
The Egyptians had two contributions to astronomy it was the twenty four hour division of the day and the making of the calendar of three hundred and sixty five days of the year. The Egyptians took night and divided it into twelve parts and then divided daytime into twelve equal parts. They made an invention called the water clock. it was a container with marks on it. The had a priest called amenemope that was the wenuty. That means he was the hour watcher.
Mummification
The Ancient Egyptians believed in after life. They thought that if someone had died that would come back in the afterlife. First they would take the insides out but not the heart. Then they would salt the body and dry it for forty to fifty days then they would stuff cloth into the body so they would keep shape. Then the body would be oiled and then they would wrap the body up in heaps of bandages tightly. The Egyptians believed that if it wasn't wrapped up tightly it would rot.
Then the priest would come and send the body’s spirit to the next world. he had more jobs as well like supervising the process and touching the body with special instruments. After when the process is done the put the Pharaoh into a stone coffin.
Hieroglyphics
Hieroglyphics was a type of writing but it was in symbols. They would write hieroglyphics in pyramids and in other places. They also made a list called the king’s list. That list was for all the fallen pharaohs that passed away in order.

Jump rope report
Walt: write a report
Glen Innes School had their jump rope in their school hall on the 7th of June at 1:30. The classes that performed were classes 1 to 12.
Each class had turn’s to practise in the hall so they can perfect their moves. When it was time to show off their routines all of the classes we happy because they were waiting for the other classes to show off their routines. All of the classes had brilliant song choices for their amazing routines. As the kids and adults were watching the routines they could see that all the kids had energy and had big smiles on their faces.
Some of the songs that the classes done the children knew the words and they sang along to it. The songs were suitable for their routines. When it was finished all the kids were exhausted and couldn't wait to go home. Everybody had big smiles but tired from their big performance.
