Room 20 travels back in time!


Ancient Egypt Portfolio from Room20

Room 20 travels back in time! 

This Term, our class have been travelling back in time. We have dedicated the whole Term to Ancient Egypt and we’ve definitely learned a great deal. After visiting the museum, learning about historical facts and creating stories, biographies, examining the way that the Ancient Egyptians lived and exploring the life of a Pharaoh, I guess you could ask us just about anything on Ancient Egypt!  
Each week, we all have been set tasks according to Bloom’s Taxonomy to do all sorts of activities; from glossaries to movies and everything in between… We have gone ‘Ancient Egyptian Crazy!!!’ Recently, in pairs, we created videos on the duties and powers of the Pharaoh. They’re on the blog. You should check them out if you haven’t already.   
Herodotus, Abu Simbel, Hatshepsut and Tutankhamen are some of the topics we have covered. We are now learning all about the Religion of Ancient Egypt and we’re pretty amazed to find out just how many Gods there actually were.

Massed Choir  
Recently, the choir took part in a huge rehearsal along with other schools to prepare for the Massed Choir Festival. The first rehearsal was held at Churchlands and the choir had to depart at 8.15am to reach our destination by 9.30am. The rehearsal was a lot of fun and hard work. The next rehearsal will be held on the 29th August, at U.W.A. The choir is very excited as we have been preparing for this day for a long time. Make sure you have your tickets as they will be sold out very soon.
