Temples, Tombs and Treasures

In Year 4 we launched our new topic: Temples, Tombs and Treasures with an exciting day packed with different Ancient Egyptian themed activities. The children took on the role of a tomb explorer to find ancient artifacts in Tutankhamun’s tomb; researched Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses to make them their own Facebook page; became archaeologists to unearth different artifacts and clues about life in Ancient Egypt and used mod rock to create their own death mask for Tutankhamun.
