UOI
Today's, UOI lesson was action packed! Firstly, the students reviewed what constitutes a civilization. Followed by a heatedly debated over the mummy preparation research. The students had several interesting comments and questions about Egyptian funerals. The students continued to the next stage of the inquiry by planning a mummification ceremony. The ceremony will take place on Thursday. Students will need to bring in the materials they agreed on within their groups.

Everyone should bring in a robe or sheet (long cloth or fabric to drape over yourself). This will be used as their funeral attire. Please come dressed in full uniform.

Soccer (football) lesson 103 - the long ball.

Thank you to Ella and Peyton who led the stretches. The conditions were perfect for another thrilling match between the Colours and the Grey's. Several yellow cards were issued during the match and one red card. Grey's ultimately came out on top. At the final whistle, Grey's - 2, and the Colours -1.
