Year 3 Build Pyramids!



Year 3 Build Pyramids!




As part of our current topic on Ancient Egypt in year 3, this week we learnt all about pyramids! After learning about how and why they were built and what could be found inside the pyramids, we had a go at writing our own secret message in hieroglyphics:



Paige's (NI) secret message!






After this, we made our own pyramids! Firstly, we coloured our pyramid nets in. As we had discovered that pyramids were made of sand stone, we made sure to use appropriate colours:

Next, we carefully cut around our pyramid net.

After this, we folded and stuck our pyramids together:

Here are some examples of our finished pyramids!
