Temples, Tombs and Treasures
Year 4 Entry Point- Temples, Tombs and Treasures
As part of our entry point into our new topic, we were fortunate to be visited by Cleopatra who showed us what life was like in Ancient Egypt. We took part in a range of activities including writing messages in hieroglyphics, building our own town and examining real Egyptian artefacts.
Areta said, ‘It was a really exciting start to our topic, we learned lots of interesting things about the Egyptians’.
