Form 3 at the British Museum: Meeting the Mummies

Date: Wednesday 23 April 2008

Concluding their 'awesome' cross curricular topic about life in Ancient Egypt, Form 3 visited the Egyptian Galleries at the British Museum yesterday. They had a fascinating day looking at, drawing and discussing original artefacts. Here are some of the comments made by the children.

“It was great to see actual mummies in front of you rather than just a picture as it showed evidence that mummies were actually made.” Chloë

“The Rosetta Stone was amazing.” Tilly

“The mummies were cool!” Lucy

“The dead bodies were awesome.” Joseph

“I liked the mummified animals.” Jack

“The enormous wall painting was wicked.” Alexander

“It is excellent to know that the Rosetta Stone is real.” Adeel
