Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe shapes and patterns used on different artefacts from Ancient Egypt and a template to select and record shapes and patterns created when using tools to make different impressions in clay.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to use different tools to make a range of impressions in clay to reflect life in 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.
