Exploring Ancient Egypt and Modern Egypt<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 3rd Class, the children have been learning about Ancient Egypt and comparing it with Egypt today. They explored famous landmarks such as the pyramids and the Sphinx and learned about the important role of pharaohs in Ancient Egyptian life, including the famous Queen Cleopatra. The children discovered how the River Nile was vital for farming, travel, and everyday life in both ancient and modern times. They also learned about cities in Egypt today, such as Cairo and Alexandria, as well as famous places and monuments across the country such as Mount Sinah. To finish, the children explored some popular Egyptian foods and enjoyed learning how food and daily life in Egypt have changed over time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
