REACH Explore Ancient Egypt at The Park 🐫✨
Our REACH group at @ThePark has been diving into the fascinating world of Ancient Egypt, and it’s been an exciting journey of discovery! The students have been learning all about the pyramids, Egyptian gods, and pharaohs, uncovering how this ancient civilisation lived, worshipped, and ruled.
One of the highlights of the topic has been the hands-on activities. The students have absolutely loved creating their own Egyptian dioramas and pyramids, using their imagination and creativity to bring history to life. From canopic jars, mummies and impressive pyramid structures. Their work has shown real thought and enthusiasm.
Throughout the sessions, the students asked lots of thoughtful questions and were fully involved in their learning. They took ownership of their projects, making choices about what they wanted to create and how they wanted their designs to look. It was fantastic to see such high levels of engagement, curiosity, and teamwork.
To finish the topic, we spent the day at The Cornwall Museum in Truro. We took part in a mummification workshop and enjoyed a guided tour with Joe from the museum, who was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience fun and engaging. We took part in the mummification, removing body parts, wrapping the bandages and adding amulets. The students were able to have a close look at 3000-year-old Egyptian artefacts. The students really enjoyed interacting, asking questions, and learning throughout the day.
