Ancient Egypt is a popular area of study at Key Stage 2 and 3 History in England, as well as in schools elsewhere in the UK and further afield. This Micromusical focuses on Egyptian mythology and deities including Nut (the goddess of the sky) and Ra (the sun god).

"The micro-musicals have enriched our curriculum and have enabled the topics taught in class to come alive. Through the micro-musicals, the children have gained a deeper and broader understanding of the curriculum and have developed a bank of rich language, which has supported their writing outcomes. The micro-musicals have provided an excellent opportunity to teach music through all areas of the curriculum and we have been able to use music as a platform to learn history, science, geography and literature. They have been a good value for money and a valuable resource."
