Mummification

8th Mar 2019

To learn more about the process of mummification (as done by the ancient Egyptians) the P4/5 boys and girls decided to carry out their own mummification on an orange, as it was a much safer option than doing the real thing.

We worked in groups to order the steps involved and then followed these.  It was a messy job, but we got there in the end.  Now we need to be patient as it takes about 40 days for the process to be completed, so watch this space for further updates.
