Friday's Tangrams!

Tangrams
by James Hayes

On Friday, Andy made shapes on pages using tangrams and we had to fill in the shapes. The shapes were of rockets, houses and people.
It took us a little while but eventually we got the hang of it.
Me and Jordan D worked together. It was fun.

The Typewriter

The first thing our class noticed about typewriters is that they do not have a screen.
Typewriters were out before laptops or computers.

The Tape Recorder

Those who could afford one would have used it years ago. It is a bit like a radio.

This is a family heirloom.
It was my great great Granma’s and then it was passed on to my Great Granma. It was then given to her daughter, my Grandmother.
It has since been given to my dad and hopefully, one day, it will be mine.

The End

The Bronze Age

How the Bronze Age people built their houses.

Tools the Bronze Age people used to hunt for food and to fight their enemies.

What their houses looked like.

In school we learned about the bronze age ,we learned how to make their houses and we know how they make their weapons and what they use to kill the deers and animals and some keep the animals if they catch them by bare hand.During the winter the families bring the animals in and snuggle with them to keep warm.The bronze age people make jewellery out of tin and copper they make weapons out of tin and copper also.They make weapons such as daggers shields swords spheres,bow and arrows,and axes to chop their wood and fight with enemies.And when the builders were making a road they discovered a big round village that appears to be a bronze age village they also found some weapons and tools .

Long ago in the bronze age the people use to hunt their food, some went to the sea and caught big fish,but the bronze age people would get there spheres and daggers and go out to sea,then catch them when they wanted to catch them they would jump into the shallow end and wait till the fish swam threw their legs and the person would get their sphere and stick it right into the back of the fish,when they wanted to catch food in the inland they would get a bow and arrow and a sphere and hide behind a tree until a wild boar or pig went past and hit them with the bow.

When they caught thier fish or pig the would bring it around the back to the cooking spot,they would light a fire,put stones into it and then put the stones into the water, lots of steam will come up and they will drop thier meat into the water. When it would be done they would take it out and eat it all up.
