On Friday the 2nd of October Class 3 visited the Leeds City Museum. When we got there a kind lady who works at the museum explained that she was going to be teaching us all day. I was very excited.We split into three groups. Then we went upstairs to have a look at a real mummy. I felt scared by excited at the same time. We saw the mummy with his mouth open and he had two front brown teeth. Did you know that the Egyptians used to brush their teeth with sticks?
Our class then moved into a big classroom to do three group activities. The first group made an amulet with clay. The second group coloured in an Ancient Egyptian death mask. Finally, the third group made a mummy! We got a stuffed model of a body and took everything out except the heart. It was fun!
After lunch we went to look around in the other galleries. We got to dress up. All the boys dressed up as girls and were struggling to get in the dress! We learnt a lot about the Ancient Egyptians that we did not know. I can't wait for my next visit.
