Walking Like An Egyptian!

Year 3 has been transported back to Ancient Egypt this term. They have been learning about the history of the Ancient Egyptians, mummification, pharaohs, hieroglyphs, Ancient Egyptian gods & more.

The first people to settle on the banks of the River Nile were hunters and fishermen. They arrived there about 8,000 years ago. What a super long time ago that was!

They quickly learned how to grow crops, raise animals, build villages and towns, build boats and navigate the river.
At that time, there was no money, so they used to trade with their neighbors for goods and food. By 3000 B.C the Ancient Egyptian civilization was born.

The civilization of ancient Egypt began in the Nile River valley of northeastern Africa. Ancient Egypt was one of the world’s first civilizations. It is also one of the most famous civilizations in history. The ancient Egyptians built huge pyramids, temples, palaces, and tombs.
