Pyramids

Walt : write an information report.

The pyramids were built in ancient Egypt because the Egyptians believed in after life they thought that if they made the pyramids the dead would roam around . The Egyptians would go and see them and put their favourite things next to their tomb so they would remember when they come back and it was the pharaohs last resting place.

The pharaohs was preserved by firstly washing the dead body. Next the embalmers took the body’s insides out. After that the embalmers put salt around the body to dry it out. Then the embalmers stuffed the body with saw dust or rags and sweet smelling herbs. Finally the embalmers rubbed the body with oil and wrapped the body in cloth then they finally put the body into the tomb and then into the pyramid.

The pyramid of Giza took 20 to 30 years to build . It was 450 feet high and 756 feet long. It took 100,000 slaves to make it. The ancient Egyptians built their pyramids on the west bank of the river Nile. This was because the Egyptians linked the west with death, as this was where the sun set. The site had to be far enough away from the river to avoid flooding, but close to the materials so it could be transported to it.

Basic Facts

The Walt for this game was to balance fractions. In this game you had to drag the fractions and try and balance them. This game was easy because it would tell you if you're wrong or if you are right but it  was a little bit hard as well because you had to try and make both sides even. What I want to learn next is to work more with coordinates.

Rugby League

Walt: Use our emotions to describe playing sport.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I go to my league training every time I go to my training I feel motivated and enjoy what we do in our training. Sometimes in my training I get tired and get fatigue because of all of the fitness that we do in training. But it is good because unless i’m getting fit. Sometimes I get injured but all I do is shake it off and keep on going. After training my limbs and muscles and legs have had it because of all of the running I've been doing. But when I get home I stretch until they are stretch out.

   

Wylie: The Eagle

One day a majestic eagle called Wylie was waiting for the sandstorm to stop in parched desert in Egypt when the sandstorm he waited until the last of the fierce winds of the sandstorm to die down. A few minutes later it was time for hunting. He thought about what he was going to have to eat. A fish from the Nile river perhaps a plump juicy lizard or a slithering snake or even a furry fennec fox.

They all sounded tasty to him. First he went and tried to catch the plump juicy lizard but he did not catch it because it was too quick. Then he flew up on the pyramid thinking unable to come up with a situation. Then he flew off. his next catch was a fish from the Nile river. The eagle caught a fish and ate it and it was delicious. when he was finished he went for more.
