3B’s Trip to Ancient Egypt

Datum:
Last week, 3B travelled back in time to Ancient Egypt while taking a class trip to the Neues Museum. We have been reading the book Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx in English as well as studying Ancient Egypt in Topic, so it was a thrill to see some of the things we have been learning about in real life! Students were able to examine the art on papyrus scrolls, see models of the pyramids, observe ancient artifacts, and even see some actual mummies!
The day following the trip, the students were able to incorporate what they had observed into a project for Art for which they designed their own pyramids. Drawing inspiration from the art depicted in the various artifacts in the Ancient Egypt exhibit, students colored and drew various aspects of Ancient Egpytian life inside their 3D creations. Being immersed in Ancient Egypt in so many subjects has been a true learning experience for us all.
