The 10 Commandments ~ Memorisation, Copywork, and Dictation

We found it beneficial to make sure we had the order of The 10 Commandments nailed down before we had Daisy work on learning the KJV version of the commandments, as found in Exodus 20.

Visual clip to assist in learning the order of the 10 Commandments

We're using some copywork and dictation pages with Bobs and Daisy to compliment this portion of our bible memorisation sessions.

(The pages are stored over at dropbox which can sometimes scramble the appearance of the pages on line - the pdfs save and print out perfectly.)

   The 10 Commandments KJV ~ Memorisation, Copywork, and Dictation.

Copywork, Memorisation, Dictation ~ Philippians 4:8

During our logic years of learning we like to continue including scripture memorisation, and copywork - the extra slant is that, with the smaller pieces, once the scripture has been memorised and the copywork completed we try our hand at writing the piece as a dictation piece.

Not as easy as it may sounds... when one is using the KJV  ☺

I've tidied up our bible notebooking pages for Philippians 4 verse 8, and have placed them over at hslaunch for other to use if they'd like to at this link:

Ancient Egypt - Tiny Tie-in, During Break Week

During our term break we're indulging in a bit of a visual tie-in fest, starting with
The Ten Commandments  movie, especially for Daisy's benefit :-)
and then toss in a few documentaries .... there are so many available to choose from on youtube - however we decided to just watch these few:

1: Ancient Egypt - The Mystery of the Rosetta Stone - BBC (which I shan't link here due to the 'foul mouthed' remarks in the comments section - we just downloaded it to watch off of the youtube site ) 

2: Ramses the Great: Master of Engineering

3: Egypt: The Search of Tutankhamun  BBC

and then we'll hop over to the history channel to see if there is anything of interest we may like there.

The 10 Plagues in Egypt ~ Notebooking Page

Sharing here the notebooking pages we've tossed together to use alongside our study of Moses and the Plagues in Egypt - to help solidify the portion on the 10 plagues in Egpyt and the Egpytian gods they challenged.

The coloured clip art of the 10 plagues is from H.o.W

(For anyone interested in H.o.W Exodus Lesson, including the coloured clip art, above, which is used in a lapfold,  see here.  )

The Egyptian Gods, black and white, clip art page is out of Remembering God's Awesome Acts

though we may use some of the  - free for personal and/or school use only -   Egyptian gods clip art   instead.

Betsy Stout has created some free notebooking pages others may like to use:

Egyptian gods and Symbols page 

Ancients History, various topics, notebooking pages

or Megan's Ancient Egypt Notebooking Pages

There are a plethora of Ancient Egypt freebies, and go alongs out there .. pinterest is a pretty good spot to browse through for possible options.

We're going to use the pages we have on hand below, out of Remembering God's Awesome Acts, and, Bibloplan's Companion Text.
