When we got there, the children were eager to explore the museum’s galleries, discovering incredible artefacts, interactive displays and historical treasures. They were particularly fascinated by the real Mummy, Nesyamun, the ancient relics and the stories they told about people from the past.   The highlight of the trip was the engaging Ancient Egypt workshop, where the children learned about the mummification process. They were thrilled to take part in a hands-on activity, where they re-enacted the steps of mummification, wrapping a ‘body’ and carefully preparing it for the afterlife.

Through this immersive experience, they deepened their understanding of Egyptian beliefs and traditions.  The children had an amazing time and were so eager to tell each other about the new facts they had learned, it was a lovely way to consolidate their learning over this past term!
