Egyptian Day 2019


Egyptian Day 2019
We all had a lovely day, dressing up, on Monday for our Egyptian Day. The children took part in different activities such as bread making. The children worked as a group to weigh out the ingredients to make a type of flat bread. They mixed, kneaded and later formed a flat shape with the dough. 






At the end of the day, after is was cooked, we all tried the bread and everyone said it tasted nice. We also tasted some other foods eaten during Ancient Egyptian times such dates, grapes, and pomegranate seeds. 

Each child began to create their own Egyptian mask, and decorated it in gold, just like Tutankhamen's mask found in his sarcophagus.  








We learnt how to write our name in hieroglyphics and decorated a cartouche with our name using this Ancient Egyptian writing.






We all had a fun day, and enjoyed learning more about the past. 



Our Egyptian masks are now completed. We look like a scary bunch!
