Time Travellers

To begin our History Topic, Ancient Egypt, we begun by looking at the ways in which the river Nile is used today. We then looked at some sources from Ancient Egypt to see how important the river was over 4000 years ago.

The uses were surprisingly similar! 

We also  talked about the annual flooding of the river using a model.

Did you know that the Ancient Egyptians had their own ways to access the water, when the river was not at it's highest? We made model shadufs, just like they might have used, but with different materials!
