The children had an interesting time, this week, finding out about the mummification process using a dead fish! There were a few ‘urgh!’s and ‘yuk!’s when the fish was washed and its organs were put in ‘canopic’ jars. The children were very brave and felt how wet the fish was and then rubbed its flesh with special salt. The fish was wrapped up and we will look at it again next week to see if it has started to dry out and ‘mummify’.
