This week Room 13 have been finishing off their Egyptian Cartouches.
A cartouche is a fancy Egyptian frame in which people would draw or carve their names in hieroglyphics.
Have a look at some of our designs – can you guess who they belong to?
HINT – Egyptians did not believe in double letters and they also would spell names phonetically. For example:
Finn – Fin
Sophie – Sofe
Kaylah – Kala
