We had a fantastic history day today learning about the Ancient Egyptians. All morning we had a workshop with Professor Tuesday, who is an expert in Egyptology. She told us about the importance of the River Nile, some of her favourite pharaohs, the timeline of Ancient Egypt and, of course, all about mummification! In the afternoon, we made our own cartouches by writing our name in hieroglyphics. We also did some Egyptian maths using their symbols. We made and decorated some 3d pyramids and finished by having a good dance to ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’. It was a great fun day and we learnt loads! You should be able to see how much fun we had by the photos and videos!

Here is a video about some of the key pharaohs.
