Learning about Egypt:)

Today we did many different things. We have now started learning about Egypt! We learned so many facts about Ancient Egypt and Modern Day Egypt. We learned about this beetle called the scarab beetle. One was placed over the heart of a mummy! We also made a sculpture of a beetle out of soap. On one side of the beetle it looks like a regular beetle and on the other side it has a personal logo that was about you! We all had a wonderful time learning about Egypt.

Last Day in the Outback :(

Today is our last day focusing on Australia. We are all very sad. We have learned so much about Australia. We only have time for 3 more continents to learn about. We compared Australia to the U.S.A. We discovered that Australia and America are about the same size, but the population of Australia is 285,949,482 less than America! We finished our other projects we did before. Then, we listened to a legend and we made our own. Finally, we all tasted Australian cuisine, lamingtons! YUM!!! :)

Fun in Australia!

We created boomerangs about Australian aborigines. Mallory's boomerang even had a timeline that showed the gold rush in Australia. If you didn't want to make a boomerang you could make a powerpoint. Most friends did research on Australia's climate,economy,education,religion, and language. Tara and I did not get done. Ian got finshed with all his work. He brought coins from Australia to share. One coin was 2 cents! Australia has 6 states and is a country in a continent! We have had a "bonzer" day!

G'Day Mates!

Today we studied about the Great Barrier Reef! We made a surf board to share our facts about the reef. Then we researched native Australian animals. We then sketched the animal and painted it as an aboriginal painting! Today was a fun day spent on the animal filled, surfer, continent Australia!
