Preparation for the Ancient Egypt Workshop Thank you for arranging my ancient Egypt workshop for your school. There are a number of things it would be very helpful for the class teacher to do before my visit. 1.
Please give the children a permission slip for wearing make-up. At the end of the workshop one boy and girl will be selected to wear
Egyptian clothes, jewellery and make-up. A permission slip is provided here.
First paste it into Word to add the date of the workshop and the name or logo of
your school if you wish, then print and photocopy. There are two slips on the page. You
may want to take photographs of the children who are dressed up at the end. 2. During the day I will ask you to assign the crafts activities to pairs based on their abilities. I have rated the difficulty level of each task so you can plan this in advance if you wish (see below). 3. If possible arrange for a teaching assistant, or any other adults, to be available to assist in the artefacts part of the workshop. This is to assist children who may be having difficulty making the objects. Since each pair will be making a different object, the more adults available the better (especially for younger children). 4. Have a space ready at the side of the room for the children’s artefacts (there will be about 15 of them). A sign and other decoration will help give the impression of a museum display. 5.
Please ensure the following are present in the classroom on the day of
the visit. If any of these items are not available, please email me and I will
bring them.
Also please have a cheque made out to Time Trips for £189 (or appropriate amount) ready by the end of the day.
Difficulty level of tasks (for a typical year 4 class) You can see pictures of some of these artefacts here There are three options for the Egyptian workshop - gods and pharaohs, just the gods, or just the pharaohs. The artefacts children will make depend on which of these options you do - see below. Option 1: Gods and Pharaohs
