Draw like a Egyptian

So, I need to blog about a piece of art I've done in the last couple of weeks. And, blog readers, this is the out come.
A picture I did, with hieroglyphics and a bad picture of a woman against a tea stained background.
The picture I copied from had a pharaoh, but i didn't do it because it would be to hard. It was hard enough doing half of it.
But, if your read them, the first couple of hieroglyphics spell Elizabeth is very awesome. so true. (I'm Elizabeth)
      

Ancient Eygpt!

so we've been learning about Ancient Egypt recently. I've already  known a lot (ancient Egypt obsessed person=me) but I've lernt even more, mostly about the River Nile and Egyptian houses. It's been really fun, but my favorite activities were those that involved Minecraft (who doesn't love that game?)
Anyway Ancient Egyptian is totally AWESOME. (awesome said high pitched)
bye bye loyal blog readers. (and unloyal one you are all amazing 

TRAMPOLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'm overreacting. No I'm not. Anybody whos been on Nairville's Trampoline and doesn't LOVE it is underreacting. It's awesome. If I could, I would bounce on it all day. It's so big and bouncing and...
Now your probably got two questions to ask;
a) What is Nairville?
and
b) Why am I on their their Trampoline.
Here are the answers.
a) Nairville is a recreational center down the road from our school where we go once a week to have a sports session. We cover many different sporting areas.
b) We are presently doing a 6-week gymnastics unit. We do 3 different circuits in each lesson, and if I'm lucky the trampoline is in one of them.  
It normally isn't. :(. It took about 4 weeks for gymnastics at Nairville to get interesting. This may be because i did gymnastics for two years. Still, it's better than running, or sprinting.

Facts about the Nile.

So I need to write about something learnt this week. I think the main thing I've learnt are factsabout the Nile I discovered when I was making notes for a double page spread about the Nile.
 Did you know Ancient Egyptians called it Aur, after the black made it gave when it flooded? I also discovered a lot about Ancient Egyptian Beliefs around The Nile.
I discovered all this information on a web site about the Nile when I was researching it's role in Ancient Egypt.

Reading, then talking and eating.

The wind singer had is ups and downs we all agreed. you see, I was reading it as a book for the class book groups. I found reading it in a group was more enjoyable than reading it alone, though it was frustrating only been able to read a bit at a time.
I think we had good conversations. My group tended to argue on most subjects, especially Mompu been the worst character ever invented! Why was he evan in the story?He's so annoying!! Anyway, the book group went really well and everything worked nicely. Everything that is except the amount of food. It started off well but..........
Lets just say we do not need 5 people bringing food, certain people. (And certain people, you know who you are).
As well as enjoying then, I think I benefited from the book groups. they help you to look more deeply at the book and really think about what you're reading. Not that I don't do that already (nod, nod).          

pony pals

When I was little I read, no doubt like many other little girls round the globe, the pony pals. It was pretty much about 3 girls, Lulu, Anna and Pam. The each had a pony (Anna-Acorn, Lulu-Snow White, Pam- Lightning) and their back yards were connected by a trail they called the pony pal trail. They lived in a town called Wiggins somewhere in america- I think the Northern State? and have all these adventures. They were 2 really mean boys and this artist who lived in these massive estate which is like one of the main settings in lot of the books. Anna mother owns a diner which also comes up a lot.


Were  a pony pal reader? If so did you have lots of the books? I had about 25.

Castle point

This school holidays my family visited castle point. Our cabin was tiny! It was about the size of my mum's and dad's room, and we all needed to share it. The beach was  beautiful though. It was really wild and rugged and there was a big sand dune close to where we were staying. I walked up it about 4 or 5 times. It was really tiring. On the second day we walked up to the lighthouse. We went for a walk the next day to deliverance cove, witch was really pretty and we took lots of photos. We went down to the beach on a track with really pretty views witch circled round the cove and went back across the beach.
