We learned that the Ancient Egyptians had their own alphabet and they used symbols to represent letters and words. This was called hieroglyphics.

We then wrote our own names in hieroglyphs.

We learned that the ancient Egyptians also made their own paper like material out of a plant called papyrus.

We worked in groups to make our own papyrus like paper by using strips and a water and glue mix. Once the paper was dry we wrote coded messages using the hieroglyphics and then used tea bags to stain the paper to make it look even more like papyrus!

Have a look at our finished result 😊.
