Egypt...the journey of discovery begins!

We start learning about The Ancient Egyptians in term three. It will be great.

Here are some funny(ish) jokes. Please send any more as comments to this post.

How do you ring an Egyptian doorbell?
Tutankhamun (Toot and come in!)

Do you know why you'll never starve to death in the desert?
Because of the "sand which is" there!

What did King Tut say when he had a nightmare?
"I want my Mummy!"

What do you get if you cross an Egyptian mummy and a car mechanic?
Toot and Car Man.

Start to find out about the ancient Egyptians. Remember the question words...they will help you to think about what you want to find out:
who - Who is the Ancient Egyptian Goddess of cats?
what - what do words like amulet, embalming and natron mean?
where
Where is Egypt? 
when
When did the ancient Egyptians live?
why - Why did the Ancient Egyptians use a hook during mummification?
- Why did the pharaohs build pyramids?
- Why do we learn about the Egyptians?
- Why is King Tut famous?
which - Which is the biggest pyramid?
how - How did the Egyptians write?

Please send any links to me...you might like to try this one...maybe send me a webreview of the site...what did it help you to learn? Did it teach you new vocabulary? Were there good illustrations?
