'To be the best you can be' - Article 29
Pharaohs
Let’s travel back 5000 years to ancient Egypt, cruising along the Nile and entering a world of mysteries, curses and mummies.
In this topic we are going to learn first-hand about the gruesome, yet fascinating, process of mummification. Our work will inspire us to write some exciting Egyptian mystery stories and non-fiction books and the internet will provide us with information to make fact files.
We will draw Egyptian artefacts in detail, focusing on symbols and design features. Studying historical sources will help us learn more about the Pharaohs, the Egyptian gods and ancient religious beliefs. We will find out about the food that was eaten at the time, make some Egyptian bread and use recycled materials to build model tombs.
