My trip to Ranga Shankara

My trip to Ranga Shankara was great. I came with my mother for the play. The play’s name was The ungrateful man. I enjoyed it & so did my mother. I like the way they acted it out.

Some interesting facts about Ancient Egypt

Egypt is in Africa. It has so many wonderful places like the Great Pyramid, the Step Pyramid, the Pyramids of Giza etc.

When an important person was dead they mummified the bodies. They put the mummies into the pyramids. They kept the body for 40 days & then they oiled the body & put the body in the coffin & put it in the pyramid. In fact they put the intestine, lungs, liver in some special jars & they pulled the brain by the nose.

gr 5

gr 5 is really different from gr 4

first we met the new kids and made friends with them . Then we learned our new class systems for example

instead of one class prefect we have many jobs which keep our class in order ,a class pyramid , we have star time etc.

our new UOI topic is ' 'thanks to the past '' we learn about the different systems of ancient civillizations . we have more homework but i like it its very challenging. we also each have chances to be the junior vice captian of our houses and we only have one year left to become a PYP student . i think this year will be really challenging and interesting. I THINK I AM GOING TO ENJOY THIS YEAR!!!

my first field trip in grade 5

my first field trip in grade 5 was to Ranga Shankara auditorium.we went to watch a play "The Ungrateful Man".this story is adapted from the panchatantra.this story is about a man who is a gold smith who tries to cheat a sincere brahamin ,Youngamurthi,who had helped him to come out of the well.we had a lovely time and the play was also extremely nice and funny.

Youngamurthi's wife sends him to the forest to get some money.he doesn't get any money for a few weeks.he starts missing his children he used to play with.one day he stops by a well to sleep but as soon a he tried to sleep he heard some cries.he thought itwas nothing and went back to sleep again he woke up by the sound.it was from the well.when he peeped in he saw a tiger,a monkey,a snake and a man.he first took out the monkey then the tiger and then the snake.when he had finished taking out each of them they said that not to take him out because he could do harm to him he did not listen to them and took him out and he did become bad fortune he was put into the kings dungeon because of the gold smith but at the end Youngamurthi did come out and was let free.

it was a very good one.we had loads of un.it was a one hour journey to go and to come back that means it took 2 hours of journey.the play was 1 hours and a half with a 15 minute break.we came back 3.it was a wonderful trip.i look forward for more field trip like this one.
