Questions right up to the end, no slack time. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark. .doc & .pdf for all files. Two separate links to the film on all sheets. Find the film either on YouTube’s BBC Teach channel or on the BBC Teach KS2 Ancient Egypt website. The BBC Teach version has scripted subtitles, not auto-generated hieroglyphic nonsense.

The BBC says: “This video gives pupils an understanding of the society and culture of Ancient Egypt and helps them to understand some of the achievements of this ancient civilisation. The video begins with a deben - a weight the Ancient Egyptians used to ensure fair and comparable trade of goods. Moving through the video pupils will gain an overview of many of the jobs that Ancient Egyptians did and information which highlights the importance of the River Nile in the development and success of Ancient Egypt.”

The BBC KS2 Class Clips Ancient Egypt web-page has the video and extensive teachers’ notes, suggesting further work.
