HISTORY-loving pupils made a replica sarcophagus, as well as Egyptian headwear, mummies, Greek urns and Roman during an exploration of ancient worlds.

Primary pupils at Hope Wood Academy, a specialist school in Easington, showed off their artefacts to the whole school at a show-and-tell after studying ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians.

Class teacher Keeley Steel said: “All of our primary classes have looked at different eras of ancient history and then brought their findings and their artwork to show the rest of the school what they have learnt.

“Because our students have a vast range of abilities, we ensure that our topic work includes aspects which all of the children, no matter what their individual needs are, can take part and enjoy.”
