Week 2: Pharaohs and Pyramids

 This week I have learned how to spell Pharaoh.   I have written it so many times. Our weekly copywork assignments were sentences about Ancient Egypt from the Happy Scribe series, Westvon publishing. http://www.thehomeschoolshop.com/sh-happyscribe.htm


Pharaoh's Crowns:  Cameron would want you to know that the war crown was blue.


Lego pyramid: It is just as well I'm not a structural engineer.  What was supposed to be quick and easy turned into a long project because the pyramid kept falling apart.   I guess we could have solved the problem by building a smaller one but I don't like to be beaten.  Eventually we worked out how to stabilize the inside so it would stay in one piece.  Damien even got in on the action and made a large pyramid with three accompanying 'ladies' pyramids.  Unfortunately he destroyed it before I got a photo.

Christ the King is born!
Heralded by angels
Ringing out their praises
In heavenly song.
Shepherds came to worship,
Telling what they witnessed:
Mary and Joseph watchful
As in a manger lay the
Saviour of the world.
