This week we have been working on our Ancient Egyptians topic. We have been writing hieroglyphs for our hand writing – it is great fun but a very slow way to write.
We have been working on our maths using the number system that the Ancient Egyptians used. It is really tricky, we managed to write the date quite easily but adding up Ancient Egyptian numbers was really challenging.
We had a fabulous trip to the Museum of Scotland where we visited the newly opened Ancient Egypt Gallery. We saw lots of lovely artifacts and exhibits. Our favourites were the canopic jars (Emily ), the mummies ( Kyle), the hieroglyphic slabs (Emily C) and the bust of Nefertiti (Oscar).

We have been creating some lovely artwork in the style of Nefertiti. We saw a bust of Nefertiti at the museum, and we tried to create our own pictures in a similar style using a black and white photograph and wax crayons.
