Egyptian artwork in Base 3

Base 3 have been learning all about why the River Nile was so important to the Ancient Egyptians this week.

We talked about the many uses the Egyptians had for the Nile such as, fishing, hunting, trade, farming and transport. The children learnt why the land around the Nile was so good for farming, as well as the many uses of the crops that were grown and taken from the river.

As a class, we then looked at some Egyptian artwork that shows the uses of the Nike that we discussed. The children chose one use of the Nile that they wanted to focus on and created their own piece of Egyptian artwork.
