Hi Lisa,
Let’s go to the Egyptian Museum together next week.
It’s in the town centre and costs £5. You can see the beetles in the Pharaoh’s room.
Love,
Sally

1 Sally and her mum went to the Majestic Hotel in the afternoon (evening). They used the bag of
tools that was in the criminals’ room to open the pipe in the kitchen (bathroom). They found
the beetle and then Sally and her mum (Sally’s mum) went to the police station. The British
and Egyptian police worked all night to solve the mystery and the next day, there was a photo
of Sally’s mum (the pyramids) in the newspaper. Sally received a postcard (letter) from the
National Museum in Cairo and they invited her and a friend (herfamily) to visit them.

A TRIP TO EGYPT
Last month I went on holiday to Egypt with my family. We spent two weeks in Cairo and stayed
in a big hotel. We visited the National Museum and saw lots of interesting artefacts. I also went
to see the Hatmen pyramid and used my black beetle with the lump to open the door to the
room where the Pharaoh’s daughter played. I’m very happy that I solved the beetle mystery and
want to learn more about ancient Egypt.
