This week we discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb! We turned our role play area into the tomb. We read a play about Howard Carter and we acted out the discovery of the tomb. We had to crawl through tunnels to reach the tomb. In the tomb we discovered lots of treasures and the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun. We used the netbooks to find out more about King Tut. We also researched some different Gods. Mya brought in some figures of Egyptian Gods so we looked up their names on the internet.

In Tutankhamun’s tomb they discovered his sarcophagus. He has a beautiful blue and gold death mask. We used colour and pattern to design our own death masks for a display.

In reading this week we have been learning about fact and opinion. We had to sort out information about King Tut. We had to decide whether it was a fact or only someone’s opinion. We found this quite tricky and are going to look at it again next week.
