Children in Herons have recently completed a learning sequence thinking about Ancient Egypt. The children developed their knowledge and understanding of chronology by looking at a world timeline and locating the Egyptian time frame. They were able to say what happened before and what came after and also what was happening in different countries at the same time. They then created their own timeline showing some key events during the Ancient Egyptian period.
The children also explored the importance of hieroglyphics and their significance when learning about Ancient Egypt. They all wrote their name in hieroglyphics on papyrus paper developing a sense of the complexity of communicating in a different way to usual.
