This term in history we enjoy learning all the Ancient Egyptians. We began our topic learning about where in the world Egypt is and where the Ancient Egyptians chose to live. We discussed reasons they chose to live near the River Nile and why this was such an important asset to them.
Later on we started looking at how they preserved their history using mummification to ensure their valued Pharaohs went into the afterlife with everything they cherished (not including their brains which they believed were useless!). 

We then looked at their beliefs and how they believed people travelled into the afterlife. We looked at the story of Anubis and how he decided if someone was good enough for the underworld or not.

We also looked at how they communicated using hieroglyphics. 

We have been so impressed with the work being produced in the very first term! Their writing is at a great starting point, and every child has already achieved so much! These very smiley faces summarise how proud they have been of themselves and how proud we are of them.
