Dear Year 3 Parents,
LIFE IN ANCIENT EGYPT - THEMED DAY
On Monday 14th July in connection with our history topic we have arranged for your children to participate in a “Life in Ancient Egypt Day” conducted by ‘History off the Page’, a company who provide a fully immersive learning experience.
Their aim is to give children a rich, detailed experience through personal involvement and hands-on activity and enable them to absorb a wide variety of facts and skills which will remain in the memory and encourage further exploration.
On the day your child will experience life as it would have been during the 14th century BC under the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten. The children will learn about the issues of the time, with the opportunity to participate in a range of cross-curricular activities and crafts and at the end of the session will take home anything they have made.
A simple costume will help your child feel part of the day. The simplest costume would be a large plain t-shirt with a belt or cord tie, long for girls, shorter for boys. Further details are attached with this letter.
There is a cost for this company running the Egyptian Day at our school, therefore the cost per child will be £11.55, which includes the workshop fees and hand-made crafts.
Parental consent and payment is requested using the School Gateway: www.schoolgateway.com Please complete this by Monday 30th June.
