We had a wonderful time at the Royal Armouries and Leeds Discovery Centre yesterday! In the morning, we looked around the Royal Armouries, where the children were able to answer questions about the different artefacts on display. We were lucky enough to witness sword fighting!
At Leeds Discovery Centre we took part in an Ancient Egyptian workshop. The children were able to touch artefacts, design their own Egyptian town and create a self portrait (in the style of hieroglyphics).
The children were amazed by the fascinating Leeds Discovery Centre store, which holds over 1 million artefacts. We were able to look at a range of different items from the past; we even saw Ancient Egyptians bandages that were wrapped around a real mummy at one point!
Help at home: Discuss something they have learnt, their favourite part of the day or a question they now have about Egyptian life.
