Egyptian Day!

On Wednesday we had Mark from Portals to the Past come in to tell us all about the Ancient Egyptians for our Egyptian day! Everyone had so much fun and we all learnt a lot, teachers included!

Mark taught us about how Egypt was structured and ruled in Lower and Upper Egypt. We spent some time measuring the Egyptian way using fingers, palms and cubits. Meanwhile others were playing an Egyptian board game similar to what we play today as snakes and ladders. In the afternoon, we learnt about the process of mummification and held a mummification ceremony for our pharaoh. Lastly, we played a game of hounds and jackals, similar to bowling but with javelins with 5H coming out on top.

We hope that everyone had a great day and that you have heard all about the day!
