A trip into Ancient Egypt for year 3!
Year 3 had such an amazing time visiting the Saffron Walden museum today and learnt so much about Ancient Egypt. Our day began by looking at artefacts including canopic jars and amulets. The children had to draw them and detail what they were used for. Then came the fun part... we gutted tomatoes and mummified them! We followed a step by step process of how to mummify an ancient Egyptian! Heavenly did a brilliant job at being our dead person, as we removed her organs and wrapped her in bandages. Finally, we all got to have a look around the museum and learn more about this fascinating time in history! Ancient Egypt is very interesting. I learnt a lot today including what organs are put into canopic jars Kasper
