Year 11 Ancient History students enjoyed at day at the University of Sydney last Friday. Students enjoyed a walking tour of the University and a guided tour of the Greece, Egypt and Rome Collection at the Museum. They came face to face with statues of Ramesses II, mummies from Ancient Egypt, statues from Rome and the extensive collection from Ancient Greece.
One highlight was the Lego reconstruction of the city of Pompeii. Students also enjoyed the hands-on archaeology workshop, where they had the opportunity to investigate ancient artefacts for themselves. Their understanding of the ancient world was enriched by the experience.
