Egyptian Day in Year 3
In year 3, we had a fantastic time learning all about the ancient Egyptians on our Egyptian day! We learned all about Howard Carter and his discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, had a go at being excavators ourselves and roleplaying what the discovery would have felt like. Then, we had a go at being real Egyptian scribes, carving our names into clay with hieroglyphs! Then, we learned all about the process of mummification and how that links to Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs.
