Hello Year 5 or 'Hallo' as they say in Norway!
We hope you enjoyed finding out about some of the Ancient Egyptian Gods. Can you see any similarities between the Mayans and the Ancient Egyptians? If so, hold those thoughts this week, ready for next week...
Today we have a television recommendation for you from Ayla O'Brien. On 18th June on BBC 4, Tutankhamun In Colour, will transport you to the time that the Boy King's tomb was discovered. We will be examining this later on next week.

Yesterday's Q: What is a positive (a good thing), a minus (a bad thing) and an interesting point about a chocolate tea-pot?
Mrs. Hudson: I am not sure my family would be able to think of anything bad about any object made of chocolate! So apart from the taste, I can only really think of the negatives that my family would eat it and I would be without anything to make my tea in. Also, more importantly, my tea wouldn't taste nice- yuck! I love chocolate too, but tea and chocolate?! No way! Did you know that it takes 400 beans to make one pound or 0.453 kg of chocolate?
Miss Martin: A chocolate teapot would be a short-lived luxury I imagine because...
1) I'd be too tempted to eat it... as 5AM know, I'm a chocolate fiend!
2) Wouldn't the chocolate melt if you put boiling water in it?... surely making it a wet, gloopy mess!
Speaking of chocolate though, 70% of the world's cocoa originates from West Africa!
We look forward to hearing your responses! Log in on Wednesday for more wonderful learning! Have a great evening.
