A Memorable Egypt Day

The Year 3s recently concluded their History Topic on Ancient Egypt with a memorable Egypt Day. The children took part in various activities which tested different skills. Firstly, the children turned into Egyptologist by using their code breaking skills to crack the hieroglyphic codes to solve the treasure hunt. Next, they became budding thespians by acting out the mummification process. Did you know that to turn a dead person into a mummy, they used a hook to take the brain out through the nose…yucky!

After that, the children became slaves by going into the school’s Forest School Area and attempting to build a pyramid using any resources they could find. Finally, the children turned their hands to pottery and made some pinch pots. Each activity tested different skills, such as teamwork, cooperation, good listening skills and creativity.
