Class pictures

We had a nice relaxing day today. Since we found out our school is COMPLETELY out of special measures, all the teachers are quite laid back. We had history this afternoon, which luckily was a fun activity anyway. The kids made ancient Egyptian burial chambers. They turned out nicely, although most kids aren't done yet.
This is Ancient Egyptian Perry. You can't really tell, but at one point he did have all of his internal organs. We took them out when he died so that we could embalm him and bury him properly. He is wearing his Death Mask. Cute eh?


I also took the time to take some pictures of the classroom, which I would like to share with you, if blogger will let me.

These are a couple of my favourite displays. The Living Things display was mostly Ryan. We even added bull rushes, because one of my kids loves them. The first day he saw that he came right over and said "look Miss, BULLRUSSES!" (no, I didn't mis-spell, that's how he says it!) Every book he reads has to have bull rushes to make him REALLY happy. The other display is an RE display that shows how far England is from India. Hinduism was the focus, and the kids designed plane tickets. Kinda boring, but the display looks nice.

This is my new favourite display. It's another RE lesson. They learned about Noah's ark, and the consequences of not following the rules. You can't see this, but each "plank" is a seperate piece of paper with a rule written on it. The rules were supposed to be things like, 'be nice', 'don't fight'. We had a lot of 'don't throw bricks' and 'don't play with knives'. What sad lives these children must lead!!

Ok, I tried to post more, but bloggers not cooperating. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong, please let me know.

So, this is my classroom in a nutshell. Messy right now, but back to normal!!
