We have had a fun week in primary 3 learning about our new topic. We are looking forward to learning lots about the Egyptians. This week we have been finding out about Egyptian jobs. We now know about the roles of a Pharaoh, Priest, Scribe, Farmer and Slave. Most of us would like to have been a Pharaoh as they were rich and got to make up the rules of the land. We also learned that most children did not go to school. Girls were not allowed to go to school at all! Some boys went to school to become scribes. We look at Egyptian clothing and jewellery. The rich people of Egypt wore fancy clothes which were all different colours and patterns. They also all wore make up, even the men. We created our own Egyptian pattern necklaces.

We look forward to learning more about Egypt next week.
