Mummification

Today we did an inquiry/drama lesson and we mummified a "human body". Whaea Bobbie had traced around her son Quaid twice. She then stuck the two bits together and stuffed the inside with shredded paper.
We then acted out the process of mummification. We pulled out the vital organs and put them in canopic jars. After that we stuck special items on our mummy for him to carry into the afterlife. We then wrapped our body in bandages. After that we painted PVA glue onto the bandages - this acted as the resin.
Next week we will build our mummy a sarcophagus.
