Pharaohs

Project overview

Develop children’s knowledge of ancient Egypt with our pre-planned and comprehensively resourced history project, Pharaohs. This Year 5 project and accompanying resources teach children about life on the Nile, the great pyramids and the powerful rule of the ancient pharaohs.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogyEngage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.

*This project is part of the Cornerstones History Curriculum and not sold separately.
