We were learning all about Egypt last week. We learned that kings were called Pharohs and that Tutankhuman was the most famous Pharoh. We also learned all our songs for our carol singing. My favourite song is  It Must Be Santa. We learned all the actions to the songs too, we can't wait sing them for you. We learned all about Picasso, we also wrote a story about him. My favourite fact about him is that he painted his first painting at eight years old, it was called Le Picado. Thanks too Darragh's dad for coming into our class and telling us all about his work being a pilot it was very interesting!! We are all very excited about Santa. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!!
