Year 3/4 visited the Great North Museum to investigate Egyptian life, After researching famous Pharaohs such as Tutankahmun, Nefertiti and Ramses, and learning how the Rosetta Stone helped to translate hierogylphics, the children were given the opportunity to be involved in a mummification of a body - not a real one of course! The pupils thoroughly enjoyed identifying the different internal organs and studying x-rays of a sarcophagus containing a mummy. Year 3/4 loved sharing the gory details!
