Year 3 experience Ancient Egypt
Year 3 recently enjoyed ‘Portals From the Past’ coming to work with them as part of their project on Ancient Egypt, and they dressed for the occasion!
They learnt about the coming together of Lower and Upper Egypt and how the Pharaohs ruled. The children completed a quiz before becoming Egyptian hunters, they cracked Hieroglyph codes and practised their measuring skills in cubits, palms and units. They enjoyed playing a game called Hounds and Jackals.
The children learnt all about mummification, took on the role of an Ancient Egyptian soldier in an army drill and partook in chariot racing games. The session was finished with a captivating story told by Egypt expert Stuart.
The children had a super day and were complimented on their behaviour, attitude and their engagement. Well done Year 3, what an amazing day.
