The Egypt Club - Weekly Meetups to Discuss All Things Ancient Egypt

Many children find the study of ancient Egypt fascinating. In this course, children will learn about key facts from Egyptian history, in a fun, interactive way.  We will use and create maps, look at artifacts,  video clips, and books, to piece together a picture of what life was like in ancient Egypt. The children receive a variety of materials and project ideas between webinar sessions, and are encouraged to use these resources to explore the topic further. 

Students will have numerous opportunities for hands on learning,  (which requires a higher degree of parental involvement) outside of the webinar,  and will be assigned a variety of projects, including writing their name in hieroglyphics,  making Egyptian style jewelry,  baking flat bread whilst learning about farming and grains, building a model shaduf to understand how to transport water to crops, and making a 3D model of the Nile River.
