Ancient Egypt

Today is the first day of working on Ancient Egypt. We didn't really learn anything yet because we had to find out the topic that we are doing with a puzzle. 

First we got a cut out puzzle that we had to put back together. It was a boat, hippopotamus and a shrine. After we put them together we got a word scramble that we had to unscramble. The words were, temple, Africa, desert, archaeologist, snake, ancient, camel, and arid. Then on the back of the paper there was a word find that we had to find the words on there. After finding all the words we got a bunch of different maths questions and after doing the maths question we would hand them in and my teacher would put a letter on them. The letters were part of the topic that we where doing. After doing that we had to make the letters from the question into a word and that was our topic. That is how I found out my topic for this week.

    I very like your post, its very well explained plus you said why you have been doing it.

    I think this looks very fun and cool to do, but was the maths hard?
    I think what you are doing looks fun for the first week back at school and interesing.


    Maybe next time you can add a photo of the puzzle and the maths questions or say how you liked it or didn't like it, Maye like a DLO of all of them together.


    Apart from that its a very good blog post
    Kind regards

    1. Hello Grace,
      Thank you for your feedback. The maths was standard year 8 maths and year 7 maths mixed up. Next time I do something like this I will defiantly add pictures.

      Kind regards

  2. Hello Hannah, I'm Amelia from Yaldhurst Model School.

    I liked the way you explained everything that you did and how it all fitted in.

    This reminds me of last year, when my teachers used pictures to give us clues of the book we would be reading.

    To improve, you could put this on a slide and just overall make it more colourful and interesting.

    What is the topic?
    Do you have it yet?

    Cya later Hannah, keep it up!
