Archeologist Visit to Grade 5

Today, Jon Cooper, an Archeologist will be visiting us. He will be teaching us about World War II in Singapore, and how he researches historical events.

3 questions that I would like to find out about are:

1. What does Jon Cooper find?

2. What did Jon Cooper find that was 1,000 years old?


3. Does Jon Cooper have anyone in the generations who participated in World War II? Does he know anyone in the generations/not in the generations who used Fullerton Hotel?

For question number one, he finds bullets, guns, water bottles, and a few other things.

For question number two, he found a few bullets and a water bottle that were about 1,000 years old.

For question number three, the question wasn't answered but I don't think that he had any generations.

Something I learnt and found interesting was the bukit timah.(you don't wanna know)

13 Colonies Choice

If I lived in the 1600's and I could choose what one of the thirteen colonies I could live in(settle in) I would choose Pennsylvania because of the environment which has clear waters for fishing, rich soils for farming, and mountains to explore. It also had a voting policy which I think was fair for the country though only men could vote I assume that later on the women were allowed to vote as well.

National Museum of Sinagapore

We went to the National museum of Singapore for our social studies unit as we are studying Singapore history.

The most interesting part of the field trip was learning about how Singapore was in the beginning and now how far it has become because Singapore is now so independent that it is hard to believe how it had once been slaved by quite a lot of countries.

Something that I didn't know before was that Singapore used to be ruled by Malaysia, China, India, and America in very different and interesting times. To show that Singapore has been slaved by those countries they have named a part of Singapore after them like India as Little India. I also didn't know that Singapore is a trading post(they deliver goods) that's why Singapore is so expensive.
