Writing
For my writing DLO (Digital Learning   Object) this week I have done three things: An explanation on how mummies were made, an objects summary and a google drawing with embalming and wrapping a mummy. We had to work in partners, my partner was Ella. Here is the DLO's:
Mummy explanation

How are Mummies made?

A mummy is a dead person who has been wrapped in a special material called linen. People are usually made into mummies if they were very important.

Mummies look like people wrapped in old toilet paper when they are out of the mummy case. The mummy case has usually got jewels and bits of gold on it; it also has a face on it. Some faces have snakes as hair!

Embalming

The first thing that happens is the body is transported to a tent which is known as Ibu or the ‘place of purification.’ When the mummy has been transported, the embalmers will wash the body in some good-smelling palm wine. After that the embalmers will rinse the body in some water which would have come from the Nile river. Next the embalmers will make a cut on the left side of the body, and they will remove some of the internal organs. They always remove them because it is part of the body decomposing.  Also the liver, stomach, lungs and intestines are removed, but the heart is not removed because the man will need it for the afterlife. The heart, lungs, stomach and intestines are put in natron which will dry it out. Next a long hook will be smash the brain and pull it through the nose. The body next is stuffed and covered with natron which will dry it out. The fluids  and rags from the body shall be saved and put in with the burial. After forty days the body is washed again with water from the Nile River. The body is stuffed with soft materials like sawdust, linen and leaves. The internal organs are placed in canopic jars.

Wrapping

First the head and neck are wrapped with linen and then the toes and fingers are wrapped all individually. After they do that they get their arms and legs wrapped separately with that same linen. Once the hole body is covered with linen they put something called a Isis knot on the body to protect it. After that they pin the mummy to a table and the priest reads out spells when they are doing that. Then the arms and legs are tied together and in the hand of the mummy there's a Book of the dead that is placed in the mummy's hand. After that they put another coat of linen around the mummy and every coat they put on they paint the linen with liquid resin. A cloth is wrapped around the body and god is painted on the cloth. Then a massive cloth is wrapped around the body and it is put in a coffin. And then it is put in a second coffin.  Then they have a funeral and place the body in a large stone.

So that’s how a mummy is made. Did you know that the first mummy was dated around 3500 BC.

This is the Objects Summary:

Big Day Out Reflection T3 W8

Big Day Out
Yesterday was the Big Day Out. The Big Day Out is a day where Mamaku leaves the school for the whole day to do fun activities like going swimming, going to the movies and going to the Recreation center. 

9:00 am: First we all hopped onto the bus (or the school van) and headed to the movies. We waited in the cinema reception for about 10 minutes then went into cinema 1 and 2. We all sat quietly for another 10 minutes while our popcorn came in then the movie started. The movie we were watching was Pete's Dragon, it was a little bit sad but mainly awesome because it was really adventures. After the movie had finished we headed back into the reception and had an Ice cream covered in chocolate.

10:30 (about that): Everybody hopped back into the vehicles which drove to the new Recreation Center, when we arrived we sat on the grass and concrete to eat our morning tea.

11:00: At 11:00 we packed up and went into the new recreation center to play some games. My first game was Badminton which was really hard because I kept on missing! My second game was basketball, I didn't score any baskets because I hardly got the ball. My third game was soccer, I had to play for the other team because they didn't have enough players on their team. The score 0-0, so it was a tie! My fourth game was cricket, I was a fielder for the first round. The team we were versing scored 23 and we scored 22, so it was a really close score. 

12:00 (about that): At 12:00 we headed into the playground outside of the swimming pool and had lunch. At about 1:00 we all got changed and went into the swimming pool. The first thing and last thing I did was go on the Hydro slide. I must have gone down like 30 times or something. At 2:00 we all began to walk back to school. By the time we got there it was already home time. 

I loved the big day out for this year and I can't wait until the next one
