Ancient Egyptneuk Open Evening

We had fabulous fun showing our families around our room and taking part in all the activities we had prepared. Some of us even dressed the part. It was wonderful to see everyone having so much fun.

Ancient Egyptneuk p4 visit

We had fabulous fun when we invited Room 11 to visit Ancient Egyptneuk as a dress rehearsal for our open evening. The children from room 11 were very impressed with all our hard work and left some wonderful comments for us. We guided them around Egyptneuk and tried out some of the activities. They particularly enjoyed the canopic jars feely boxes and had fun guessing which internal organs were in each jar. Everyone was amazed by our beautiful tomb inside the pyramid.

Egyptneuk

This term primary 2/3 have been extremely busy learning about life in ancient Egypt and building Egyptneuk. We have all worked really well in teams to build a pyramid filled with treasures and a sarcophagus with a mummy.

We have written some fantastic imaginative stories and very detailed instructions including instructions for an embalmer wishing to learn about mummification, we all loved the gory details. We have been learning about hieroglyphics and made beautiful cartouches. We enjoyed using clay to make amulets for the pharaoh’s mummy or we might bring them home to give to our own mummies. We became archaeologists and explored a sand dig site, keeping note of the grid references.

In maths the triangles have worked really hard to learn times tables facts and have just about cracked tricky division with remainders. The squares are enjoying working with big numbers to one hundred and telling the time using half past.

Diane from Starling Learning took us out to find signs of spring. We found a fox's den, lots of bugs and buds and slug's eggs.
