On Thursday 24th April, Year 5 embarked on a captivating Egyptian Day! Stepping into the world of Pharaoh Akhenaten and Nefertiti, students experienced life in ancient Akhenaten during a significant event: the appointment of a new high priest.

The day was filled with hands-on activities, including learning about mummification, creating canopic jars and amulets, making ink and writing, baking bread, and crafting perfume cones.

The day culminated in an Egyptian feast and exciting performances of plays and dances by the students. It was a truly amazing and immersive start to their new Egyptian topic!
