The children all came dressed up and our day was filled with Ancient Egyptian activities to help us learn what life was like.

The day started with a personalised video message from Egyptian Aston Villa player 'Elmo' (Ahmed Elmohanady), wishing the children a fun day and even giving us an Egyptian phrase to learn. 

Children then took part in a virtual workshop from the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford where the children were shown lots of artefacts and made an Ancient Egyptian game from clay.

Then, children worked with  a dance teacher to retell the story of an Egyptian Pharaoh, through dance.

Our children created some lovely Egyptian art, including making a collar and a cartouche with their names written in hieroglyphics. 

The end the day, children were given the opportunity to try a variety of different foods eaten in Egypt.
