Jacks Fantastic Voyage!

Lauren and Olivia are learning about Jacks fantastic voyage and this is what we know so far in the story… jack could feel the house shaking. Swaying from side to side. Books fell from shelves and a chair slid across the floor. The storm shutters were now of the window. Jack could see the light from the distant light house. It seemed to be bouncing in the dark. The house was a float! Grandfather raced down to the kitchen. Jack heard him shovelling coal into the big black cooking range. we need more steam “ he cried ! “ keep her steady jack ! To the left of the light. They were beyond the harbour pitching over the white topped waves. As they neared the lighthouse a thick blanket of fog rolled over them and only the mournful sound of the foghorn told jack wear to steer It was a comforting sound and reminded him of grandfather snoring Under the fog the sea was not so rough. Jack began to fill at ease with the wheel. He got used to the shift and the sway. Grandfather was now on the balcony outside the front window, peering into the mist. Sometimes without turning around he raised his arm and pointed left or right, and jack changed course. Space

We had a visit from Commander Moss and he asked us some questions like:

• What makes up a solar system? • How many planets are there? • What do planets look like? • What size are they? • What is the climate of each planet? • What interesting facts are there about the planets? • What clothes are the best insulator?

This term we have been learning about mummies and Egypt. We are making some death masks at the moment for our topic.

Also we have been writing a charter description and land description. In our writing we used adjectives and openers.

In Egypt their stands pyramids near the sphinxes! __ A Necklace __ The Egyptians loved to decorate them self's with jewellery. This necklace is made from pottery beads. Necklaces were worn by Egyptians to make themselves feel safe. Both in life and death. __ A Make-up Pot __ Both men and women used special powders and pastes to cover their skin. The make-up was not only worn to make them look attractive but also to protect them from the hot climate - quite similar to how we use sun cream today. = In Egypt when somebody has died they celebrate their life's by having a funeral in there funeral they end up dancing to some Egyptian music! =

This is the biggest pyramid in Egypt

We have been learning to write hieroglyphics!
