20 November 2006 ~ Year 6 visit the British Museum - 6D's Day


Here we our on the steps before the main entrance to the British Museum, ready to explore its Egyptian Galleries.

One of the most important exhibits is the Rosetta Stone, the key to reading Egyptian hieroglyphics.	Then we took a look at this impressive sarcophagus.

And then one of the religious false doors

There was some drawing to be done...	and information to collect.

We checked our size against the pieces of King Amenhotep III's statue.	It was interesting to know how people lived their lives so long ago.

Sometimes it was easier just to sit on the floor!	Some canopic jars.

Then there was the journey back to Ickenham...	and home.
