Year 5 have been learning about the Ancient Egyptians this term.  They investigated why they wore jewellery and discovered that  jewellery was an important way that the Egyptians tried to get the attention of their gods. They thought that the more jewellery they wore, the more attractive they would be to the gods. Men and women who had great wealth usually wore the most jewels.

The children then designed their own Egyptians pendant, drawing it first before crafting it out of fimo clay, which then had to be baked in the oven.  Finally, they painted their pendant, thinking about the colours that would have been used in Ancients Egypt.  Here are a selection of them  –  I’m sure you’ll agree that they are truly amazing!

More of the children’s  exquisite pendants will  be on display in the school entrance, so make sure you have a look!
