Historical time line

We have begun our topic on Ancient Egyptians. We have already thought about what we already know about the topic, and what we want to find out. 

Today we were learning to order important dates from world history on a time line. We also looked at important dates from the Ancient Egyptian era including and found out that the Ancient Egyptians were most significant from around 3000 BC to 30 BC.

We discussed what the terms AD and BC meant and why they are used on a historic timeline.

Then in small groups, we ordered pictures of world history including the Ancient Egyptian civilization. in their chronological order (we used skipping ropes and metre sticks to help create a time line) 

As class, we then put these pictures of world history on a large class time line (with 1 meter representing 1000 yrs) and added the discovery of Tutankhamen’s Tomb in 1922.
