22 May 2013: Around the World : Egypt


We travelled to Africa and stopped in at Egypt.

We started with a busy game of musical camels.

Egyptians were one of the first civilisations to make clay pots

We tried one of their favourite dishes: Honey bread 
 
 



Some cubs were very creative with their pots..
 

Finally we had to decipher the heiroglyphics to find the hidden treasure..

We set off to Italy for our next visit.

Many good artists come from italy and we learnt about the colour wheel...
 

Italians love their food and we learnt what makes for balance eating.

We learnt to play the game: Chinese Ball.
This meant we had to concentrate carefully...
We then filled out our visas and got our passports ready... 
 
 

Then had to learn to eat with chopsticks and try Chinese tea.
