Continuing
our Journey through Egyptian Daily Life
Within
our Daily life group we have looked at various aspects. We
begun our topic by trying to recreate jewelry using present
day
materials.
Now,
we are
designing and making
jewelry
using student requested materials to create their vision of
authentic Egyptian jewelry. In our inquiry we have also had
the chance to consider various Ancient Egyptian games, including
Senet
and
making
dolls. Hopefully in the near future we will actually get to
play Senet, the Egyptian form of checkers.
We
have had a guest come in to help us make amulets (good luck
charms) out of clay. Just wait until you see all the Ankh's,
Udjat Eyes, Scarab Beetles, Cobras and the Faience of Bes.
Finally, for our Celebration of Learning we will be preparing
some Egyptian
food for all
our
guests
to enjoy. We hope you all love Bread and Hummus.
