"What are you waiting for?" called Miss Nile. One by one we crawled down a hole under our computer desk and in to a tomb! Our school is definitely different. You should meet our teachers for starters. Miss Nile gets very wrapped up about mummies, and her lessons really are magic! We learned about: * Pharaohs - when one drove his chariot in to the classroom! * Mummy-making - when we visited an embalmer in Ancient Egypt. * Egyptian myths - when the gods put on a play for us! It's brilliant here. Come on in and see for yourself.!
