Brockbank Sixth-Graders Learn About Ancient Egypt

Submitted by brenda.johnson on

Recently Brockbank sixth-graders learned about ancient pyramids. They learned about who, what, and why the pyramids exist. They also learned all about the mysterious King Tut. One fun activity they got to do was to create their own sarcophagus out of paper. They laid on the floor while someone traced them and then they used metallic paints and oil pastels to make them dazzling and bright. Another activity they had fun with was mummifying stuffed animals. They took out all the stuffing out and then put them in a box (sarcophagus) wrapped it in toilet paper. They learned all the steps to creating a mummy and had lots of fun!
