Ancient Egypt Workshop Learning Objective

In our KS2 Ancient Egypt workshop, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of ancient Egyptian civilisation and its lasting impact on history. They will explore the importance of the Nile River, the construction and purpose of the pyramids, and the cultural significance of statues and monuments.

Additionally, they will investigate ancient construction techniques and how the Egyptians used skilled labour to build their iconic structures. Through interactive and creative LEGO building activities, students will bring the world of Ancient Egypt to life, constructing pyramids and statues and creating a collaborative Egyptian landscape.

Workshop Learning Outcome

By the end of this KS2 school workshop, students will be able to define and describe key elements of Ancient Egyptian civilisation and understand the historical and cultural significance of the pyramids. They will identify important figures, such as pharaohs, and explain the roles of monumental statues in Egyptian society.

Additionally, students will demonstrate their understanding by constructing detailed LEGO models of a pyramid and a guardian statue, incorporating architectural techniques used in ancient times. Through these models, they will reflect on the enduring legacy of Egypt’s monumental structures and the skills required to build them.
