Ancient Egypt

We have been using our studies of Ancient Egypt to aid us in writing stories with historical settings.

 

In Egypt in The Valley of the Kings, the sun scorched the earth sending up steam from the pail of water. The sound of chipping, digging and scrabbling in the dirt filled the ears of the workmen… Harry was very small, about the size of a small door. His hair was as brown as conkers. His blue eyes glowed like Neptune . He was dressed in a white shirt and black overcoat. His black shorts covered most of his legs while the sandals let sand seep onto his scorching feet.

Jake ran off the boat on to the dusty hot sand. He needed a cold drink. He went into the Nile , bent down and got a drink. Ewan shouted “Come on Jake! We have to go and meet the others or they will think we are stuck in the Sphinx getting spades”.

Eventually they got to the top and Ben showed them the tomb. “This could be a find my boy”. Lord Rap took a match and a candle out of his pocket. He lit the candle and asked one of his workers to hold it. Ben was so pleased with himself.

After a few hours he hit something round and flat. Thomas chiselled away some more at the cliff face. Soon he had opened up a tunnel entrance. He lit a candle and went inside. He could barely see in the flickering, dim light. In the eerie glow of the candle, Thomas saw a chamber…In the faint glow he traced his finger over the letters.

In science and DT we have been learning about electrical circuits and have designed and built our own torches to help us explore a tomb!

 

 

In 1922 a person called Mr C Smith and his wife Lady Smith were travelling up the wide, bright-blue Nile . The sun was blazing down on their hot heads, birds were flying above the sandy, dusty desert. Their brown wooden small boat rocked from side to side. A slight breeze crossed Lady Smith’s face.

In art we made our own canopic jars and painted them.
