Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to describe some of the artefacts found in Tutankhamen’s tomb, a shared reading text to describe the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb in Egypt and a template to structure and format a news report about the discovery of a tomb in Egypt.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore and record the life of an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh by writing a news report about the discovery of their tomb.

This lesson is part of a history scheme of work to get the children to explore how and why the Ancient Egyptians constructed and used different pyramids and tombs to reflect their beliefs about the afterlife. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
