Someone sent me an email!
I’ve just been checking me email at home and found a chain letter from one of my friends. It was one of those “you know you’re old when….”emails but I got to the end and this bit make me curious.
OK, you need to look at this, don’t think too much, don’t try to hard but DO try to read it. Can you? Let me know how you got on!

Well, how did you get on? Of course, don’t use this as an explaination of your literacy work :-)

If you were to spell out numbers from 1 upwards in words, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter “A”?

Hi there, 3C.
I hope that all is going well and Mr Mullally is working you hard! We’re having a great time here at camp, it’s warm and sunny, there’s no mosquitos to bite me, even the Year 4 children in my house are well behaved!
Later today we’re off to the swimming pool and to the Beach - for some swimming and fun!
Mr C
Egyptian Research
As promised, some links for your Egyptians research.
The BBC’s Ancient Egypt website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/
The British Museum’s Ancient Egypt website
http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/menu.html
http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/egypt/
These are just a few of the websites to start your research going. Remember to surf carefully, think about the information you are reading and try to put it into your own words.
One last thing, www.wikipedia.org is a great link for searching for information that other people have published on the web. I find it the best for finding pictures, maps and photographs about a subject!
If you are stuck - post a comment, perhaps someone else can help!
