Hands On History: Ancient Egypt

We decided to join in with a friend on a history unit study, so when we met on Tuesday the girls worked on a death mask of Tutankhamun:





 We also managed to paint the outer part of the headress which has now been glued in place, complete with crazy beard!  Pictures to follow tomorrow :-)

We found some really great short videos aimed at KS2 pupils including one about the types of food eaten by the ancient egyptians.  I remembered a really useful youtube and website called Pepper And Pine  And thanks to this site we made a really yummy meal for our tea:

Spicy Chicken,
 Lentil, onion, garlic and sultana stuffed cabbage leaves
 Baked potato ( not authentic I know) for some carb.

We had hoped to make the date balls for dessert but we were late returning home from college and food shopping.  However we are home based tomorrow so they are on the home school to do list :-)

Oh, yum. Date balls sound good! This is such a fun unit! I was always intrigued by Tutankhamun and loved reading about him. In middle school I found a book on the library shelf by Lucile Morrison titled _The Lost Queen of Egypt_ which wove a tale surrounding him and Ankhsenamun, his wife. Pip is doing a great job with the death mask, and I remember so well how fun it was to explore foods of ancient times. Another favorite book was _Ancient Grains for Modern Meals_ by Maria Speck. I was able to find that in my library. Good luck with the date balls :) xoxo

As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from fibroid, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My wife suffered from fibroid for more than 20 year of marriage after our first son and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she had irregular and painful menstrual flow and the size of it was 5cm, and she always complain of stomach pain. we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and she left the contact of the doctor who had the natural cure to fibroid. I never imagined fibroid has a natural cure if not surgery not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it as instructed by Dr Godstime, and in one months time we went to the hospital for scan and the doctor confirmed that there is no trace of fibroid and now she is fully okay, even up till this moment she is so full of life. fibroid has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on: Drgodstimehealinghome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2349063469910 on how to get his medication.

I advice every other woman TRYING TO GET PREGNANT or fallopian tube issues, pcos and other infertility problem too do their research and don’t base your option only on anyone’s advise, I did and it resulted in waste of money and time. contact Dr Azuba on email: odumaspelltemple0(at)gmail.com because I have discover Dr ODUMA. long time ago and I would have been pregnant earlier if I follow my heart and buy the herbal herbs but I disregard it because of my doctor’s advice and I am annoyed at myself but at the same time I am happy that I made the wise decision by going back to Dr ODUMA , for his pregnancy spell and herbal herbs. Now I am a strong believer of this pregnancy spell and herbal herbs natural medicine. Thank You.contact Dr ODUMA , on email for help on odumaspelltemple0(at)gmail.com or cell phone 2349067801825
