shikarna's days with the mummies



On Thursday the 26th July we went to the British Museum where a man showed us a video about when he went to the hospital and scanned a mummy. We went to the theatre and we learned that when mummies pass away they will have to have their brain taking out. The mummies believe that they think with their heart not their brain. They even have to take out their lungs, liver, stomach,intestines. In the afternoon we went to the Petrie museum and drew and wrote about what the Egyptians pots was really good to use in Egypt. We went back to the British museum and went home.

On Friday when we came to the British museum we made Jewellery. We made it out of clay and we looked at the Jewellery that we drew at the Petrie museum.In Egypt the Pharaohs have loads on Jewellery to show how rich they were and that they are a very important person.On Monday we had a early play and we went to the gallery and we had to split up in groups.Gary was my leader.We got a book and we had to find the stuff in it round the museum.We had to find important stuff like gold rings, a baboon, a monkey and loads more other stuff.

On Monday we got scrap books with Egyptians stuff inside and we learned how to write our names in Egypt language
