Making Mummies

IMG_1789

P3/4 are learning about Ancient Egypt.  They have been fascinated by the process of mummification.  First the brain is removed from the body through the nose, then lots of internal organs are removed and put into canopic jars.  Finally the body is packed with salts and then wrapped in linen.  Here we are mummifying an orange ….. the mummified oranges are being kept in Mr Gairn’s boiler house!
