Children in year 3 visited the Oriental Museum in Durham on 14th December. They travelled back in time to the land of the Pharaohs to experience what life was like thousands of years ago. Children studied the significance of mummies and mummification and were amazed when they came face to face with a 3,000 year old mummy. The class particularly enjoyed mummifying Eden and sending him to the afterlife! (Don’t worry Eden was not harmed in this activity). The class independently explored the galleries, handled collections and came to their own conclusions of life and death in Ancient Egypt.
