On Friday Billy watched it again, then set about making a ziggurat (stepped pyramid) out of boxes.
Followed by making a clay tablet and doing some cuneiform writing.
We added important dates to our timeline - Sumerians inventing the wheel, writing and building the ziggurats.
We used the following books as resources:
The Technology of Mesopotamia by Graham Faiella
Picturing the Past - Mesopotamia, Iraq in Ancient Times by Peter Chrisp

That is one happy, colorful ziggurat :)
Hi, Just wondering if you wouldnt mind telling me where you purchased the books on Mesopotamia. My husband is Assyrian and has heaps of books on his families history and Im sure he would love these ones too.
Anon - I actually got the books out of our library, but I know you can get them both at Amazon if that helps.
Suji - yeah, think the king likes it?! :) (Plus you get to see what we eat around here!)
