In Week 3 of Term 3, 2013
(wow, that’s a lot of threes!) Rooms 6, 10, 15, 18 and 20 departed from the
school bound for a fabulous excursion at the Museum of WA
to explore the new and wonderful exhibit, Secrets of the Afterlife. It was a
long and extremely crowded trip (3 to a seat!) and many students were extremely
happy to step off the cramped, rattling buses and stretch their legs. Once
inside, we began to look around the vast, open lobby and marvelled at the
gigantic dinosaur relic gazing upon us. Next, we split into two groups and
explored the various relics and marvellous exhibits that were just some of the
wondrous secrets and items concealed through the museum’s rotating door.
The Secrets of the Afterlife
exhibition is part of a larger collection of artefacts from the world –
renowned British Museum. With this in mind, we felt
extremely important and privileged to lay our eyes on a fraction of one of the
best and most wonderful Ancient Egyptian exhibits of all time. As we walked in
through the door, we saw, to our utmost amazement, the Ancient Egyptian
Creation myth, which we had learnt about in class, depicted upon a sheet of
papyrus. From this moment on, we knew it was going to be an awesome day
learning about the Ancient Egyptian culture and beliefs.
