Today I went on a school trip - it was awesome! We went to Bagshaw museum because we are learning about Egypt and they've got loads of Egyptian stuff there. The first thing we did was hear about all the rules (which was a bit boring), and then we actually did something. The first thing I did was an archaeologist thing where we had to find stuff in sand and look up what we found on a sheet and look up who would have owned the object and where they would have lived.

Before lunch we did one more activity - it was like a treasure hunt, but with no treasure. We had to try and find items on a worksheet - we didn't get any prizes for that unfortunately. We had lunch and played out a bit and then we got back together and they gave us real objects that the ancient Egyptians had so that we could hold them - the one I had was like a jackal head and we saw some finger prints in it and even a nail mark made by the person who made it!
