TodayI went to Alfriston College for what we call a "taster."It's a little experience of what life next year will be like. So I was chosen by my teacher to go to history or classic stuff -whatever you call it. My teacher was Ms.Greensides and she is the most kickback teacher ever.In my eyes, she tries to put herself in our shoes and tries to understand what we find boring and what we don't. So she didn't make us do heaps of writing and we played games on computers about Egyptians.
She also taught us these new vocabularies like:
*Sarcophagus
*Hieroglyphics
*Papyrus
... and heaps more weird words.
So now I know how to write my own name in hieroglyphics.
Next year,I hope I'm in the Green House where all my friends are -Kaitoro.
So now I'm so excited about being in College next year. Woo! Hoo!
Did you know:
~Ancient egyptians would cut a hole on the left side of a corpse and take out all the internal organs then put natron (salt) in the body to dry it up.
~do you want to know how they would remove the brain...?
They stick a hook up the dead corpse nostrils and then smash the brain and....... pull the brain out through the nose (exactly what I'm thinking.... ewwwwwwww).
~They would wrap the body in linen and wrap it in cloth then put it in a sarcophagus and put the internal organs in a canonic jars representing 5 sons of "Horus".
