Children in a year 3 have made these amazing models of pyramids as a part of their projects.

Here are some facts about Egypt:

The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. This incredible structure weighs as much as 16 Empire State buildings!

 Unwrapped, the bandages of an Ancient Egyptian mummy could stretch for 1.6km. Yikes!

Both Egyptian men and women wore make-up. The eye-paint was usually green (made from copper) or black (made from lead). As well as offering protection from the sun, the Egyptians believed make-up had magical healing powers, too!
