Design and Technology Day!

We have had a fantastic day today focussing on Design and Technology.  Throughout the day, we have looked at two different aspects of life in Ancient Egypt.
During the morning we learnt about what a cartouche was and what they were used for.  We then designed our own version with our names in hieroglyphics and used clay to make them!
In the afternoon we learnt about how people in Ancient Egypt used a shaduf to collect water from the River Nile.  We carefully measured and cut wooden dowel using a hacksaw before experimenting with different ways to fasten them together.
