Dear all,
Please see information below:

ESOL Resources at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology – Pilot
Project_*
* Entry 3 and Level One Pre-visit, visit and post-visit resources on
Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt, Cultural Diversity in Ancient Egypt and
Islamic Art and Culture in Egypt. Tutors Notes and Background
Information is also available.**
*The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology has worked with four ESOL
tutors to write resources for self-directed visits to the museum aimed
at Entry 3 and Level One ESOL learners and their tutors. The museum is
piloting these resources from 16 June to 3 October 2008 and is keen to
work with ESOL groups and tutors to get feedback.
Tutors Notes, Background Information and Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt
worksheets will be available from 16 June, with Cultural Diversity and
Islamic Art and Culture to follow in July. Depending on availability, we
can book groups into the museum during our opening hours. Booking
outside of those times is limited but we will try and facilitate groups
where possible.
There is access for people with disabilities - please contact the museum
for information.
The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology is a world class collection of
over 80,000 objects from pre-historic, pharaonic, Greek, Roman, Coptic
and Islamic Egypt and Sudan. What is so unique about the collection is
the items used by ancient Egyptians in their daily lives across four
millennia, including hairpins, kohl pots, rush sandals, toys made from
the mud of the Nile, rat traps and much more - all for free.
The museum is on the campus of University College London in the centre
of London, very near to the British Museum.
For more information and booking contact Debbie Challis
