I got a fantastic and I mean FANTASTIC book from the British Museum (on line ) POP UP (sounds a bit babyish but it isnt ) on Egypt . Have a look . I was so impressed I got one for the school as well .

If any one knows please tell me . I googled british museum and then went into childrens shop and typed in egypt pop up book . Good luck tell me if you find it and what you think .

DS1's friend who went to a very pushy school for very bright children got "onomatopoeia" in Year 1.

And please don't trouble to tell me I've misspelt it....

OK wakeupandsmallthecoffee - a challenge!
"Dehydration is part of the mummification process which was used to preserve the bodies of Ancient Egytptians and prepare them for the afterlife in the underworld."

Mind you, I can't spell Egyptians, or your name properly - sorry!

OMG, last weeks for DD (also Year 3) were something along the line of look, book, send, mend, morning, what . Please tell me your list won't be coming my way anytime soon

Rusty your good

That's brilliant! My dd's school has decided that they won't have spelling homework any more, it really pees me off. Apparently they now do it in the context of the class (wtf?). I know she'll end up writing potato's!

could be worse she could write spuds LOL

The Egyptians, ha! When dd2 learnt about them she spent at least six months carrying a straw around the place, in case an opportunity arose to suck out her big sis's brains through her nose, in order to mummify her! She was obsessed by Egyptians.

bless LOL
