Hello everyone.

This week in P3b we have been working hard on our IDL topic “Ancient Egypt”.

We have learned where Egypt is by looking at a map of the world. We can see how far away it is from Scotland!

We have found out the reasons why the River Nile was so important to the Egyptian people as well as learning about their daily lives. We know about their homes, the different jobs people may have had and the structure of society.

It was interesting learning about the three seasons and what the Egyptian grew.  We had a little tasting session and sampled fruits that they would have eaten regularly. We enjoyed melon, grapes and figs. We know that the Ancient Egyptian people grew garlic and would eat this most days (especially if you were a farmer)  so we had a little look at this but did not taste it.  We all agreed it was very smelly!

“The River Nile was very important to the Ancient Egyptians.” (Charlie)

“I loved learning about the River Nile.” (Sam)

“The figs looked like strawberries inside but they did not taste like anything.” (Austin)

“The inside of the fig looked like a brain to me.” (Cameron)

We cannot wait to learn more!
