History

Pupils have been learning about cuneiform, a system of writing first developed by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia c. 3200 BCE. Cuneiform was first developed around 3200 BCE by Sumerian scribes in the ancient city-state of Uruk, in present day Iraq, as a means of recording transactions. Cuneiform writing was created by using a reed stylus to make wedge shaped indentations in clay tablets.
