Today in Mrs Saville’s class, we looked at part of the mummification process by mummifying a hotdog! We examined its appearance before covering it in bicarbonate of soda to recreate the natron. We wrapped it in a bandage to hold the powder against the hotdog and make sure it doesn’t fall apart.
We’ll keep you posted on how it progresses!
Sounds really fun I wish I could of done that.

We’re having great fun learning about Ancient Egyptians Daisy. Our mummified hotdog has shrunk by 1.5cm over just 2 days! Today we made the organs, canopic jars and a death mask for our mummification film, which we are creating tomorrow.
