Base 3 History

Today we have started making our own models of canopic jars. In history we have learnt how the ancient Egyptians mummified the bodies of those they loved and, as part of this process, they stored certain organs (liver, lungs, stomach and intestines) in special jars. These jars are made with a representation of one of the sons of Horus, as each one representing a different organ which is stored inside. This has grabbed the children's attention and today we began making our own.
