Today, we are going to take our next steps towards writing our diary entries. We are going to think about how we can write expanded noun phrases describing the contents of Tutankhamun's tomb - more specifically the antechamber and burial chambers.
e.g. hand-woven, patterned stools
beautiful, ornate necklaces shaped like a jackal
golden masks which glimmered under the torchlight
an array of chests containing wonderful treasures
terracotta pots piled high
Remember you are writing expanded noun phrases, not sentences, so you do not need capital letters or full stops.
Challenge: Could you try to write an expanded noun phrase for each of these tricky words?
archaeologist artefacts excavation antechamber sarcophagus ornate
