Mummy Madness
Lesson: History
Today Year 3 have been mummifying oranges to replicate the mummification process which occurred during the burials of Ancient Egyptians.
First of all we carefully spooned out the inside of the oranges just like the Egyptians took out all the main organs of their dead. Then we mixed bicarbonate of soda, salt and cloves together and filled the oranges to the brim. Finally we wrapped the oranges (mummies) in crepe bandages. All there is left to do now is wait to see what happens to the skin of the oranges.
Check back after half term to see the results....fingers crossed.
