Today Class 5 asked more historical questions. We had started this with the Mary Rose.
We looked at a mystery artefact and wrote:
- What we knew for sure about it.
- What we thought we knew about it.
- What we would like to know about it.
Here are some of our guesses: salt & pepper shaker, herb grinder, flower arranging and a pattern maker for cookery.
Mr Short writes:
The artefact was borrowed from a local museum. The children thought it was magical, which is quite refreshing in an age of PlayStation 3 and Xbox. Some children guessed when they saw me filling up the sink with water, but pupils asking questions and having enquiring minds was my success criteria. So, what do you think it was used for?
