On Wednesday 10th September, the Owls took part in a workshop on Ancient Egypt, run by Make The Classroom Disappear. They experienced writing the Egyptian number system on wax tablets and making mud bricks. We learnt about the layout of an Ancient Egyptian house too. The highlight for most of us was learning about the process of mummifying a body, including the Weighing of the Heart ceremony. We acted out the story of the Book of Life and finished by examining a timeline to see when, and for how long, the Ancient Egyptians were around. It was a wonderful afternoon. The children learnt so much and their behaviour was exemplary.
