On the 1st April 2008 Year 5 decided to
sample life in Ancient Egypt first hand.
sample life in Ancient Egypt first hand.
In the run up to the day the children had designed and made Egyptian collars in class and for homework had created an Egyptian headdress.
The day started with Egyptian numeracy and a series of Egyptian word challenges finishing with 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire - Ancient Egypt'.
The children were offered a selection of foods representative of the type of food eaten in Ancient Egypt i.e. grapes, figs, dates, unleaven bread, fish sticks etc. Many children were persuaded to try foods they had never tasted before and were pleasantly suprised!The morning ended with a headdress parade judged by Miss Jacobs. She agreed it was an almost impossible task as everyone had made such a wonderful effort.
Seen to left here are the winners from 5R....

A great day was had by all!
