Class 3 - Egyptian Tomb

Lesson: History

Class: Class 3 Year: 2020 - 2021

Today, children visited our very own Bollin-tomb. We have been very lucky to borrow artefacts from Macclesfield Silk Museum. 

Children got hands on and made predictions about the purpose of the items. We thought about how these items have ended up so far away from Egypt! 

Children heard about a Marianne and Mary Brocklehurst. Wealth from the local silk industry allowed these women to collect artefacts from Egypt.  You can find out about how our local history is linked to Ancient Egypt here; https://macclesfieldmuseums.co.uk/why-does-macclesfield-have-an-ancient-egyptian-collection
