On Monday P4a and P4b visited Prestongrange Mining Museum. We went to take part in a clay workshop as part of our Ancient Egypt topic but also to see how much we remembered about mining from our first topic, East Lothian. We split into different groups. The clay workshop was really fun and we had to try and make a canopic jar. The best part was trying to design the top of the jar to look like one of the gods! We also went to see the Beam Engine and got to go inside. We couldn’t believe how old it was. We saw a huge spanner which was bigger than most of us!
P4 had a great time and learned lots of new facts. We can’t wait to get our canopic jars back to school so we can paint them!
