During the last week of Term 2, our Year 7 students travelled to Canberra to attend the “Life and Death in Ancient Egypt” exhibition at the National Museum. The exhibition had more than 220 fascinating objects on loan from the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities to allow students to discover the everyday practices and religious beliefs of ancient Egyptian people. Students were able to investigate Egyptian artefacts including household pottery, objects for worship, and an ancient board game, before spending time in the exhibition’s discovery space for hands-on activities.
