Egyptian projects

In the Spring term our topic was Ancient Egypt. As part of their homework, the children in Years 5&6 were working on an Egyptian project. The presentation of their projects is fantastic! The time and attention to detail every child has put in is phenomenal! There have been diary entries, acrostic poems, newspaper reports, artistic drawings, along with extensive research around Cleopatra, Tutankhamun, pyramids, mummification, living conditions and much more. Every single one of you should be as proud as I am with the quality of work you have produced.
