Norwich Castle - Alex

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
