TD's Summer Reading Club Week Four: 9s - 12s

The fourth week of the 2013 Summer Reading club is behind us! Only two more weeks to go!

This week we traveled to Egypt to explore the Great Pyramid of Giza!


We made a few fun crafts:

The flag of Egypt

A Pyramid with an entrance cut into it

A Pyramid covered with sand

Tried some Pyramid Puzzles:


And even played with some homemade playdough! 

The Eiffel Tower

Zombie workers inside a diamond cave with a dragon sitting on top, breathing out lava 

Smiley-face pizza

A slice of pepperoni pizza

The playdough recipe I used is:

1 cup of flour
1/4 cup of salt
2 tsp cream of tartar

Mix together, then pour into pot. Stirring over medium heat, add:

1 cup of water
1 tbsp of oil
2 tsp of food colouring 

Stir in pot until a ball forms in the middle. Dump onto lightly floured surface, knead until no longer sticky. 

Remember to get your reading passports stickered each week, and enter into our weekly prize draw! We draw for prizes Fridays at 4:00!

Next week, we explore the Colosseum!
