Owls - Learning about Mummification

Today, in Owls, we became mummification specialists! We were learning all about mummification in Ancient Egypt and to really understand the process, we thought we needed to have a go ourselves!

We took a head (a tomato) and scooped all of the brains (insides) out; then we filled the insides with a mixture of Bicarbonate of Soda and salt, to dry it out and wrapped it tightly in bandages! We are now going to leave them for several weeks to see what happens...make sure you come back to see our updates!
