The students visited a museum and learned about ancient Egyptian drilling techniques, rebuilt broken pottery, and made sieves. For drilling, they twisted string around a drill piece and used a hexagonal piece of wood to pull the string and drill. When rebuilding pottery, the students struggled at first to fit all the pieces but eventually completed it, though a small part was missing. To make sieves, they tied bamboo together on the ground, stood it up, attached sieve material, and tied off extra rope.

1. What we learnt at the
Museum on Monday

2. The Egyptian drills &
how you use them
Step 1 : ) twist the string up twice around
the drill part.
Step 2 : ) put your knee on the piece of
wood to hold it down.
Step 3 : ) then you put a little piece of
wood that is sort of a hexagon.
Step 4 : ) hold the hexagon shaped wood
with one hand and pull the wood attached
to the string

4. on the museum trip we went in a
classroom we had to our group
had to do pottery
when we did rebuilding the
pottery it was hard at the start
but once we put the small pieces
in it was easy
we did't manage to finish all of it
we had a little bit missing
and then we had to present it to
the class

5. We worked really well
and hard together but
sometimes I was really
difficult because we
couldn't find all of the
pieces and put them
together.

First we had to put the bamboo on the ground tie
them together.
Next we stood the bamboo up.
Then we tied the seive to the bamboo and made
sure it stayed
Lastly we tied the left over rope in a knot so it
wasn't hanging down
We had to work as a team to finish this task
