Egyptian Adventure

After two weeks in the heart of the Amazon Jungle we flew back to Africa and landed in Egypt. The last leg of our world trip.  

The children were briefed, with the aid of a prezi that I had made, on what to expect when they landed.  Especially to be careful of the many vendors that will try and sell and bargain with you at any given place or time!

coins to spend at the market.

Once we had got off the plane we proceeded to our bus, but oh, no!... Nobody expected us to be mobbed by a bunch of vendors so early on our travels!

The 'grade 4' vendors, trying to sell their wares!

Beautiful jewels..come and buy.
Special price, only for you!

Come on sir, madam..buy these from us!!

Thank goodness we managed to avoid the pesky vendors, we boarded our bus and head off to get our first glimpse of the pyramids!

Gill and I had prepared pyramid nets for the children to cut out. (An introduction to 3D shapes) And in groups they constructed them and placed them in the desert.
