Ancient Egypt - Spring 1
Our studies of Ancient Egypt in History this term lead us to examine museum artefacts and join a mummification school. Alongside studying life in Ancient Egypt, hieroglyphics, the pharoahs, Egyptian Gods and, of course, the pyramids.
Alongside this History topic, we read The Egyptian Cinderella and The Story of Tutankhamun in our English lesson. Looking at a twist on a traditional tale and writing Howard Carter diaries.
In D.T. we designed our own ancient Egyptian water carriers, shadufs. Testing out our designs with straws before revising and creating final versions in wood, which involved careful measuring and sawing.
In Maths, we looked at Egyptian number systems. Solving Egyptian hieroglyph calculations and writing our own.
And in Art, we created Nefertiti-style Egyptian pharaoh portraits and had an Egyptian Day, wearing our own Egyptian collars.
