In
this first episode of the culture and civilisation series, we travel through
the time tunnel to ancient Egypt and learn about their famous gods and
goddesses, inventions that we still use today as well as their special form
of writing called Hieroglyphs. We also explore themes like kindness and
caring for others through listening to the myth, “Isis and the Seven
Scorpions” and sing along. If you were Isis, who possessed great magical
powers, what would you do to those who were rude to you? How would you thank
those who helped when you were in need? This video provides opportunities to
discuss the importance of being helpful and kind. The last part on
Hieroglyphs can serve as an interesting extended activity for students.
