Half Term Topic Research - Let's TIME TRAVEL through Egypt!

Year 3 Research Project ANCIENT EGYPT/EGYPT TODAY


As part of our Topic work next half term, we will be 'Time Travelling'.  We will be using a History Timeline to plot specific events in history.
Our journey will take us through Ancient Egypt and make comparisons with Egypt today.

We would like you to produce a project at home, either on the paper provided, or if you're really adventurous, produce a booklet or poster.  This needs to include information on Ancient Egypt as well as information on Egypt today (for example, as a holiday destination; why do people go there; etc).
BEWARE OF 'JUST PRINTING OFF' INFORMATION AND PICTURES FROM THE INTERNET - MAKE YOUR PROJECT INDIVIDUAL AND USE WHAT INTERESTS YOU!!!

Ask your grown ups to help you search for information on the internet or you could go to the library and borrow a book about Egypt; you even look in a travel agents brochure!  We look forward to talking about what you find out! 


Bring this in by Monday 15th June.

As a starting point, we have included some web links below to help you out - make sure what you are using is 'age appropriate' and 'child-friendly'!!
