Last Wednesday, Maple Class celebrated their learning about Ancient Egypt with an Egyptian day. The whole class enjoyed dressing up for the day. They made up their own short dance to ‘Walk like an Egyptian’ before performing it to the class. They then participated in various activities from pulling the brains out of Tutankhamun’s nostrils (this is what happened at the beginning of the mummification process), playing a game called Senet, Egyptian maths as well as pyramid maths.

For lunch the class had a banquet and both Mrs Godwin and I joined the children. In the afternoon, the children become news report writers and interviewed a friend about their day. Finally, the children set up a museum in the hall to present their hard work that they have done since the beginning of the year.

All the children have made me very proud with their efforts and participation during the museum.

Also a great big thank you to all the parents and other family members that came to celebrate the children’s work.
