Our
Egyptian Day At The Castle Museum by Alex
On the 5th
November Badger and Oak class went to the Norwich Castle museum to learn more
about the Ancient Egyptians.
First we
arrived at school as normal, went to the toilet and hopped on the coach for a short
trip into Norwich. On the way some people had packed a pencil and paper and
were drawing and writing .When we finally got to the castle at about ten ‘clock
it was pouring with rain!
So we raced up the stairs and into the warm
and dry. We saw other schools there to. Next we were herded into a big room
with comfy seats and were faced with an argument, weather to take things from
the tomb and display them or to leave them so the mummies can go to the
afterlife.
Next we were
split into groups and were herded into different rooms. Our group stayed in the
auditorium with Dr Derry. We were sat at tables and looked at Egyptian artefacts
and talked about the gods.
When it
ended we walked out of the auditorium and into the art gallery for living like
an Egyptian .First we went to sleep and woke up In Ancient Egypt. After that we
picked fruit for our breakfast and milked a goat. After that we ground some
grain to make flower and made flat-bread. Next we did some Egyptian work and paraded
round with bells to wake up the gods for Tutankhamen’s coronation. After that
we had a pretend feast and that means the end of our second activity.
Next we had
lunch and went into the education room for mummification. After that we talked
about the proses of mummification which included smelling oils and wrapping
each other’s fingers up in bandages
