More Information:
In the afternoon, pupils turn their morning’s work into a performance, allowing them to deepen their understanding by presenting what they've learned to other year groups, peers, or parents and carers. This engaging approach fosters confidence, teamwork, and a lasting grasp of historical concepts.
Alternatively, teachers can choose a craft-based activity in the afternoon. Pupils can translate their new knowledge into Egyptian-inspired creations, such as hieroglyphic panels or 3D clay tomb artefacts. These crafts make excellent display pieces or take-home items, providing pupils with a tangible connection to their studies.
