Egyptian Teach-backs

Mikhaeel and Angelo
were tour guides who
told us about the pyramids.

Last week, Gill and I set our classes a very 'grown up' task! We arranged our children into groups of three and gave each group some information on an aspect of ancient Egypt. Each group researched the topic and then had to present it to the rest of the class.

This was rather difficult for them to do, but with a lot of guidance they got the idea and were able to extract the information.

This was a very well organised
group who told us about
farming in Ancient Egypt.

We encouraged them to be as original in their presentations as possible. I must say I was rather impressed by some of the ideas they came up with. 

Both Gill and I felt that a repeat of this exercise would have produced some fantastic work.  Next time they will be far better equipped.

Aariv, Ebrahim and Jaden pretended to be Egyptian
builders and acted out how they built their homes
and why.

Rhea and Zeenath told us why Egyptians
wear make up and fancy clothes.

This group went the extra mile by bringing a book
and Aruna made a poster at home. However, they
got so excited that they deviated a bit from
their original plan!
