Ancient Egyptians – St Joseph's PS Whitburn

Primary 3

Good morning Primary 3.

I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe!

I have found some exciting activities about the Ancient Egyptians on the National Museum of Scotland website and others.

So I have decided to set you some topic questions! I know you were all enjoying our Ancient Egyptian topic before we finished up. The questions will be about mummification and can be found on the worksheet at the bottom of this post. There is a video to watch too.
