As part of their fascinating topic on the Ancient Egyptians, Badgers Class recently got hands-on with history by mummifying oranges. To replicate the traditional preservation process, the children scooped out the insides of the fruit, packed them with a salt and bicarbonate of soda mixture, and carefully wrapped them in bandages. Over the coming weeks, the class will observe how the mixture absorbs moisture to prevent decay, giving them a real-life look at how ancient embalmers worked.
