Form 3 History through Drama Workshop

On Tuesday 22nd September, Form 3 took part in a Drama workshop to bring the topic of Ancient Egypt to life. They were met with the sight of a body of an Ancient Egyptian which was “resting” in a coffin, waiting to be mummified. Children then took part in the mummification process which involved removing the internal organs and placing these in the correct canopic jars. The body was then filled with ‘salt’ to dry it out and prevent it decomposing. Children then wrapped the body in bandages and placed it in a coffin ready for its final journey to the temple. All the children then took part in the funeral ceremony to ensure the body reached the afterlife. A brilliant morning, where children really learnt through drama.
