Upper Primary Visit the Tutankhamun Exhibition
As part of the unit Where we are in a place and a time, our Upper Primary students visited the Tutankhamun exhibition. It was a unique opportunity to explore the life of ancient Egyptians and learn more about history.
Students saw original artifacts and accurate replicas from the tomb of the legendary pharaoh, including golden treasures, jewelry, burial items, and objects used by ancient Egyptians over 3,300 years ago. They experienced the story of the tomb’s discovery and learned about the significance of the exhibits through a child-friendly audio guide that presents the perspective of the archaeologist Howard Carter. This brought the adventure of discovery and Tutankhamun’s story to life.
The exhibition showed students how archaeologists uncover and study history. Through activity sheets and discussions, they learned about ancient Egyptian culture, religious beliefs, the significance of writing and hieroglyphs, and the life of Tutankhamun as a young pharaoh. The visit provided a vivid, hands-on connection to the topics we study in class.
The experience was both educational and inspiring. Students left with new knowledge, a sense of discovery, and a deeper interest in ancient history. Experiential learning like this encourages curiosity, supports critical thinking, and fosters a lifelong love of learning.
