I went to the British Museum and watched a film about mummies, and how to see inside them with computers. Then we talked about animals in Egypt such as cats, cows, crocodiles, hippos, lions and jackals. In the afternoon we went to the Petrie museum where we saw a statue of a hippopotamus and crocodiles. There was also a skeleton! We went back to the British Museum and and made a hook (to get brains out of a head) out of clay.
On Friday we dressed up as Egyptians, and also put Egyptian make up on. Then we went to the gallery. In the afternoon we watched another film about digging in Egypt.
On monday we went to the galleries where the mummy section is and we drew pictures of things that we wanted to put in our scrapbooks. Then we went back and had play. Later on worked on our scrapbooks and cut out the pictures from the galleries and stuck them our books.
In the afternoon we made pyramid books. The drew on papyrus but I went with Richard to go around the monument gallery and look for statues with hieroglyphs.
Today I went on the computer in the CLC. We wrote about what we did at Mummified in a blog and also made a podcast.
