Baby Alice's Birthday

Baby Alice’s Birthday!

It was December the 10th on Thursday and Baby Alice was coming to celebrate her birthday even know her birthday was the day after we still did it. First Alice was playing around with the toys on the green mat and having a nice time then Mrs Ward put a chair in the middle of the mat and Baby Alice, held on to it and stood. Mrs Webber held out a toy at Baby Alice and she nearly grabbed it then got of the chair and crawled to it so that was disappointing. Then Alice had a little grin on her face like she was tricking us. Nathan’s Mum was watching and taking photos and she brought cupcakes for everyone I got the second to last chocolate cupcake and it was scrumptious! Baby Alice got a banana cupcake and she wasn’t even eating it she just gave it to her dad which also came along, then her dad passed it back but she didn’t want to eat it even know it was a CUPCAKE!

Then Mrs Ward gave a book to Mrs Webber and it was of all the R.O.E stuff me and my class did throughout the year. Then it was time for Baby Alice to go home and i’m sure she had a good time.

My Nile Boat

MY NILE BOAT!

Last night I made a Nile boat it was like 8:45 or 9 and I had to make it quickly it has sails so it blows in the wind and it's made out of a soap bottle. For the sails I had to stick this stick green thing on plastic and then I had to stick it on the boat so the boat just moves by the wind. :)

Howard Carter Diary Entry

Dear Diary I've been searching for a that has not been robbed and it's already been 5 years now and Lord Carnavon has given me one more chance to find a tomb that had not been robbed...

Dear Diary I found this old worker shelter and I dug next to it and found some stone and I thought what could be under this stone so I mined it and a found a step I thought this could be it! And then I dug and found another step and another and another and more then I found a stone wall, I could see that it had been broken in before, so I lost hope.

Dear Diary I told Lord Carnavon what I had found and he rushed over to Egypt I tried breaking through the stone so there was a human sized hole so I hoped in and you couldn't believe what I found there were gold boxes everywhere and chests and chests full of gold but then I opened a box then another, box then another and I found the tomb of Tutankhamen I saw wood with gold over it and the last layer was solid gold I couldn't believe I found this I was now famous.

Dear Diary this was a wonderful find and it's amazing that I found it but I now must carry on with life...    

Nathan's Grandad Comes

Today Nathan's Grandad came and he talked a lot about ancient Egypt he talked about the 12 hours of darkness and the 12 monkeys and he mostly talked about Tutankhamen his original name was Tutankamun he was called Tutankamun because his father Amun which Amun was the King of the Gods. Howard Carter had found the entrance down to Tutankhamen's Temple right next to a small worker cavern but that took 5 years so Lord Carnavon gave Howard 1 more chance and he found it!

Tutankhamen was found in a Sarcophagus with wood covered with gold then there was more wood and more wood then... solid gold and under that solid gold was Tutankhamen. He looked kind of gold because he had been in the Sarcophagus more then 3,000 years so that's why he looked gold. First Howard had to dig all the way down to the end of the staircase then there was a limestone door so Howard and his workers had to break a small hole in the limestone and the first room was called the Anti-chamber which was the first chamber.

It was full of gold and wood things it had Tutankhamen's throne,his boy stool and gold and wood boxes full of jewelry. 

Tutankhamen was found in the Valley of the Kings where 30 other kings before him were buried. There was a sculpture of Isis on the gold/wood boxes it was like she was protecting it and if you didn't know Isis is a goddess. There was a box that all the origins and stuff like that were kept not the brain because Tutankhamen didn't need a brain for the Afterlife Egyptians thought the box had three Tutankhamen looking heads on top and you had to remove those to get to all the stuff inside.

Egyptians thought there was 12 hours of darkness before the kings would go to the Afterlife so they put 12 monkeys to protect the kings from that on the walls. Nathan's Grandad also told the Year 4's and me about how people were mummified but it's kind of disgusting so they pull out the brain with a hook and throw it in the trash and all the other things the Egyptians thought the kings didn't need for the Afterlife then they rapped them in bandages.

 In all the rooms in Tutankhamen's Temple it was full of boxes and pieces and pieces of gold if you gave a solid gold statue to the bank you would get 80 million dollars back! The End.

Tutankhamen

TUTANKHAMEN

Tutankhamen died in 1327 or 1324 B.C! and it's 2015 now so that's around 3,000 years ago! Archaeologist Howard Carter wanted to set adventure to find Tutankhamen's Tomb and so he did. In 1922 he discovered The tomb and he became very very famous for discovering the Tomb of Tutankhamen.

Kings were very important to the Egyptians but Tutankhamen was the youngest king and died around 17-19 and became king and the age 8 or 9 but Tutankhamen wasn't that famous as a king until he died and then Tutankhamen became mysterious and famous and also there was THE MUMMY'S CURSE!

Also Tutankhamen was buried in the Valley Of The Kings! And people thought or it might be true that Tutankhamen was bludgeoned to death!
