Arty artefacts!


 As part of our Egyptian work, Class 3 have been lucky enough to work with Sam the Potter to create our own 'ancient' artefacts. The whole class had the opportunity to make a piece.
"It was difficult to work with the clay, but lots of fun," said Billie.
"I can't wait to see my clay after it has been fired," said Jemima.


How do we know so much about the ancient Egyptians? One of the ways that we find out about the past is through the objects that they left behind. The Egyptians made many artefacts out of clay. We can find out a lot about their lives and beliefs from studying these objects.
