Matchstick Pyrmid

Last week totara hubs topic was Egypt. In groups of 2 or 3  we had to use matchsticks and hot glue to build a pyrmid.  The first thing my group did was build squares for the base. Next we started doing some triangles to put up on the sides as the walls. This was hard to build because we had to stick each matchstick together with hot glue and hold it up at the same time.

Egypt

This morning each table in the class were given an envelope and we had to open it and solve the puzzles inside we didnt know what the topic was. Once we solved the 3 puzzles which were an ancient key, A boat and a hippo we had to guess what the topic was. Once we figured out what the puzzles were we had to unscramble 8 words.  Once we had unsrambled them we had to find them in the word search. After that we got given a bunch of differnt maths questions and when we were revealed letters once we got the correct answer.  Near the end we figured out that the topic was Egypt. We had to find Egypt on the map.
