As part of our Egyptians topic, the children in Year 4 have learnt about the River Nile, the mummification process (including mummifying a tomato), Egyptian gods, writing hieroglyphics and the Pyramids.

The children have really enjoyed this topic. Take a look at what happened to some of the children:
