Children stepped back in time when they experienced life as an Ancient Egyptian.

Pupils from Edge Grove, in Aldenham Village, came to school dressed as Cleopatra, Pharaohs, and Egyptian archeologists.

The Year 3 children began the day with a short history of ancient Egypt, followed by a fact-finding quest.

They were then given the chance to carry out a real mummification process, before playing games typically enjoyed in the historic country.
