Visitors to the museum were treated to a mummification workshop, had the opportunity to dress as an Egyptian and even had the chance to uncover priceless treasures in the desert sand.
The children had all worked so hard to research their particular area of Egyptology. The depth of their knowledge was evident from the confident way they set about sharing their learning with our museum visitors.
All those who were not of a squeamish nature were invited into the specially constructed Ibu (place of purification) to take part in a mummification.
Guests were welcomed by one of the pyramid builders who had all the facts on the great pyramids at his fingertips!
The other classes visited the exhibition and were keen to enter into the spirit of things. It would seem we have a boy pharaoh of our own!
Mrs. Gregson bravely took part in the ceremony; here she is removing a lung!
Our scribes taught our guests about the number system the Egyptians would have used as well as sharing the secrets of hieroglyphics.
Thank-you to all the parents that came along and helped to make the afternoon such a memorable experience. Especially those who were adventurous enough to try the make-up and wigs!
Our pop-up museum has now popped off - however many of our artefacts are still on display in the classroom so if you didn't get chance to see them, please pop-up to see us!
This looks superb, Class 3. Brilliant costumes too!
