St. Monica's Catholic Primary School
Egyptian Day 2024
On the 23rd May Year 3 had an immersive Egyptian day in school. This was a fun, interactive workshop which introduced the children to the fascinating and enigmatic world of the ancient Egyptians.
The children participated in activities to learn about what happened following the death of a mighty Pharaoh, including tomb building, the mummification process, burial ceremonies and, finally, the crowning of the new Pharaoh.
They will also took part in:
- Basic maths, the Egyptian way, and learning how to measure in cubits
- Discovering fascinating facts during an Egyptian-themed quiz
- Hounds and Jackals – an easy Egyptian board game
- examining Egyptian artefacts and way of life
The children dressed up for the day and received a replica coin to keep.
What a fantastic learning experience!
