Egyptian morning

Stepping out of my office this morning, I was no longer Mrs Warner, I was transformed into an Egyptian Princess.
After I painted the children's eyes, they put on the Pharaoh headdress. Here are Pharaoh Kings and Queens from Year 4.



























Canopic Jars

The children finished the jars yesterday afternoon and here they are for all to see.

Making Canopic Jars part 2

Yesterday Year 4 enjoyed some sunshine while working on their Canopic jars.
The started these a few weeks ago but unfortunately the clay cracked and the pots became very fragile. Mr Walls thought long and hard and finally came up with a solution. He wrapped the jars in modrock bandages and when they were dry the children painted them a golden yellow.
