Year 3, I hope you are as excited for this topic as I am!!! I cannot wait to explore Ancient Egypt with you.
We know from our Ancient Britain topic that the word ancient means a long time ago. We will be going as far back as 6000 BC! We will examine the timeline of important people and events in Egyptian history. We will study the rulers and pharaohs, gods, myths and stories told by the Egyptians. We will also look at key people in more recent times that made archaeological discoveries to help us ‘dig up’ Egyptian history.
Did you know that the Egyptians had their own writing system called hieroglyphics? Not only will we decipher some of their writing, we will also try to write our own words in hieroglyphics! As well, we will look at the social hierarchy, how they build the pyramids, and the mummification process.
There are lots of important places within Egypt such as the River Nile, Giza, Valley of the Kings and Temple of Horus that will be included in our learning.
I would love to know what you already know about Ancient Egypt! Share below and answer the questions:
- Who do you think the pharaohs were and what did they do?
- Why was the River Nile so important?
I am so exited to learn about ancient eygpt.
I think the pharaohs were the kings of Egypt at this time
I think the Nile is so important since in our assembly it tells you they treated it like a living thing!
