Hi world!
We are doing a literacy topic, it’s defeating the monster. We are working on our adapted version of How to Train Your Dragon. My island is called Egrub, my opening line is… 2000 years ago, in a time long gone, Vikings lived on the island of Egrub. My dragon is blue, like Eragon. He has razor sharp teeth and he’s faster than a jumbo jet. He is mean and can breath out eletric fireballs. I decided he is ten years old.
What character would you have on the island Egrub?

In Numeracy we are learning our times tables. On my Numeracy table is Oscar, Jamie, Zakira and me. The rest of the class are learning their 6′s, 7′s and 8′s. But because we are on the top table we have to learn our 11′s and 12′s. My table think Maths is EPIC. We would LOVE to do Maths 24/7.
Do you like Maths?

Hello World
We are learning about Egyptians. I love Egyptians .I am a colossal fan of Egyptians . The ancient Egyptians began a race of people living on the bank of the River Nile in north Africa. By the 4th century BC there were two Kingdoms on the River Nile, the Upper Egypt and the Lower Egypt. Cleopatra was the last Pharaoh of Egypt .What do you know about Egypt? The ancient Egyptian society was divided into 2 main classes. The wealthy rulers and nobles and the ordinary working People. Men of all classes had more freedom that women but Egyptian woman had more rights than the woman in ancient Egypt. Cleopatra was joint ruler of Egypt, first with her father, later with her husband.
Hope you enjoy our blogging on Egypt!
We have been learning different poetry techniques in literacy. Some of the techniques include similes, metaphors, alliteration, rhyme and assonance.
We decided to record them onto our SoundCloud page so you can hear some examples. They are all about a homeless person. We used an image for our inspiration.
Here is one example. Click on our SoundCloud button to hear many more!
