Ancient Egyptian day

Year three had an Ancient Egyptian day to mark the end of our Ancient Egyptian topic.  We all got to dress up as an Egyptian person - even the adults!  We  were shown how to make carvings,  incense, bread, mummify, write in Hieroglyphs,  make perfume, painting, canopic  Jars and bracelets
We got to have a Banquet, and in small groups, we got to perform dances or dramas.  We did the drama.  The dances were the dance of the river Nile and the story of the Clay crocodile. The drama was  the story of Isis and Osiris, and the other group  were court petitioners, begging justice from the pharaoh. 
While the children where doing acts, the servants were giving out food to eat - brown rolls, cheese, grapes and apples. We also had blackcurrant juice to drink, from lovely silver goblets. 

It was a great experience and everyone had a wonderful time.
