Step into mysteries! Year 5’s theme day.
EGYPTIAN FUN Hold on to your fedoras, folks because Year 5 at Abbey embarked on an incredible journey back in time! They were treated to an epic encounter with the secrets of Ancient Egypt, as an Egyptologist from 'Portals to the Past' rocked their world on Tuesday, September 12th, 2023! This extraordinary experience promised an immersive adventure like no other. Students were transported to the land of the pharaohs, where they dived headfirst into a whirlwind of historical activities. They got to experience the mind- bending Egyptian maths session, where basic calculations were done the ancient way. Dusting off those cubits was a must! But wait, there was more! They were amazed by a fascinating Egyptian quiz, leaving them in awe of this ancient civilization's mind-blowing facts. If that wasn't enough, they buckled up for a wild ride with 'Hounds and Jackals,’ - an authentic Egyptian board game that had them on the edge of their seats! And holding their breath, the Egyptologist unveiled the mysteries of mummification, taking them on a spine-tingling journey from the death of a pharaoh to tomb building and decorating. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the mummification process up close and personal! To truly immerse themselves in this extraordinary historical experience, Year 5 dressed up in Ancient Egyptian costumes. Pharaoh headdresses and flowing robes were proudly worn, making the day even more memorable! Tuesday, September 12th, 2023, was the day Year 5 embarked on their unforgettable trip to Ancient Egypt. They were amazed, inspired, and transported to a world long gone, but never forgotten! A great way to start their autumn learning.
