3 Red’s Trip to the British Museum

Miss Holland

Today we had immense fun at the British Museum in London! We have been learning about the Ancient Egyptians as a part of our history learning. We learnt so many interesting facts about how the Ancient Egyptians lived and were able to compare their life to our own. Our favourite part was seeing the intricately decorated sarcophaguses and the preserved mummies! We observed the canopic jars and lots of other interesting Ancient Egyptian artefacts. Watch our video to see what we got up to.

What was the favourite artefact you saw today?

    The mummification statues were my favourite artefacts because it is amazing to know there is an ancient Egyptian inside. I also liked the cave paintings.

    1. The ancient Egyptians saved their organs in Canopic jars to protect them.
    2. They put salt on the mummies for 40 days to soak up the water from the body to stop it from going black (rot).
    3. The brain was thrown away because they thought it was useless. The heart was cleaned and put back in the body as they thought it was the most important.
