When you can't get to a museum, the next best thing is to get a museum experience in! However, our Egyptian day was more than just a museum visit. The children from Teal and Cobalt classes had the opportunity to meet an Egyptian embalmer, who took them through the process of embalming a body - it was quite gory!

 

There were then a range of activities to be done throughout the day, including writing on papyrus, playing Egyptian games and exploring Egyptian artefacts. The children also worked in groups to use currency to build an Egyptian town. They had to choose how to spend their money, and then see how well their town fared against unpredicted world events!

 

A huge thank you to Mrs Redshaw for arranging the day and to Historic Workshops for facilitating all of the activities.
