Year 5 Crawl Into Tutankhamun’s Tomb

Part of the Year 5 area has been transformed into a mysterious tomb. To get inside, the children had to crawl through a narrow entrance, just as Howard Carter did when he first entered Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922.

Waiting in the darkness were artefacts and treasures to discover. There was a real buzz of excitement as the children searched for clues, and many of them described feeling shivers of anticipation as they made their way through.

It is all part of their Ancient Egyptians topic, and it sets them up perfectly for the Howard Carter diaries they will be writing in English. Stepping into the shoes of a real explorer is a pretty good place to start.
