Egyptian Museum

In our Egypt group we mad a “garden”. It really doesn’t look like a graden sadly, but we did our best. We also made a a mummy. What we did is, we took a babydoll wrapped it in tissue paper. Then we put the babydoll in a shoebox and painted it. Our group worked very hard at making a tree. What we did is, we used cardboard to make the leaves and trunk of a tree, then we painted it green and brown. We let it dry, then we put of clementines on it. We made a lot of posters. One of them had hieroglyphics on it. Another had a social structure on it, and the last one talked about a pharaoh and have they ruled. All these things were made so we could present a museum.

One of my favorite parts of the museum was making the mummy. What I liked about it is when we wrapped the babydoll up in tissue paper, then trying to put it in it’s “coffin” or box. Another one is our garden. In our garden we have sunflower seeds, cucumber seeds, cron seeds, carets, and potatoes.

 

The What If Project

Our school has been working on a project called “What If?”  The teachers of 6th grade split all the 63 kids in three different design groups.  Our group went to Haworth and Disher Design.  The city has asked us to design a park to take the place of a 11 space parking lot for our community.  We have been brainstorming how we could make the park be accessible for the special needs kids and adults, to make water beautiful, entertainment, and refreshment, we also had many more thing to brainstorm as well.  We sketched the ideas we had brainstormed then voted on the ones we thought were the best. It feels really good brainstorming off of other peoples ideas, because they came up with a good idea then you are basically adding on to their idea to make it better, and safer.  A great idea Mikaela had was to have a bike trail in the park we are designing.

This is a picture of our group working on a project for school, it is called  Keep Calm and Walk Like an Egyptian.  Right know we are working on Stable Food Supply.  For an example of Stable Food Supply our group is trying to plant a little garden.  We are hopping it goes very well.  We are also mummifying a babydoll and that was to show Religion.  Our group is also working on many more different characteristics of Egypt, like Social Structure, Government, Writing, Art, and Technology.  We are going to make a museum out of all that exhibits we make.  We hope it goes well.
