Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe materials used to make a range of clay pots and other shapes and a shared reading text to investigate how to use clay slip to join different elements of a model clay artefact representing life in Ancient Egypt.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to use clay slip to join different elements of an example model clay artefact from Ancient Egypt.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to design and produce tiles that can represent Ancient Egyptian culture and traditions by adding shapes, patterns and attachments to clay models. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
