Year 3 Egyptian Morning - Friday 22nd June

Year 3 had a very exciting day on Friday 22nd June. Not only did we all thoroughly enjoy the excitement, competition and sporting events of Sports Day, but we also spent the morning learning more about Egypt.


Each class learnt an Egyptian dance where they performed some actions independently and as a partner group.

 
They then learnt all about what modern day Egypt is like. We used a variety of resources, such as a video, the Internet and maps to complete a fact file.

 

They also helped their teacher to make a traditional Egyptian hummus. We used chick peas, olive oil, lemon juice. We then tasted it on pitta bread.


                                                     




Finally we tasted a variety of foods eaten in Ancient Egypt. We rated each item of food out of five and gave a reason for our rating.
