Egyptian Day 2024

This week, children in Years 3 and 4 have been furthering their historical knowledge about the ancient Egyptians with the wonderfully knowledgeable Egyptologist, Mr Egypt!

He visited school on Monday and Tuesday for two Egyptian Days. The children came to school dressed up as various characters and spent the day doing Egypt-themed activities. We had a multitude of pharaohs, mummies, Howard Carters, gods, goddesses and Egyptian royalty in school.

They played games, handled genuine artefacts thousands of years old, learned about mummification, wrote in hieroglyphics, did Egyptian maths and tried Egyptian singing and dancing too. It was a fun day for everyone!
