My Bow And Arrow

By Mika

 I chose to make the bow and arrow because we were doing medieval weapons.I decided to do the bow and arrow because it's my favourite medieval weapon and it looked very tricky.

I made a bow and some arrows with some bamboo wood. I chose that wood because it bends and
it was the right colour. What I did was carve two v shapes in the wood. I did that so the string would not slip and the string could also hold more pressure. Then I tied the string on the wood. the last thing I did on the bow and arrow was tape a handle on and then I secured the strings with tape.

For the arrows I had a stick and some feathers off an old dart. 

The Black Death Investigation

Detective for a day!

Monday 23rd september 2013
Today room three did an investigation on the black death. What we did was Miss Cocks put out evidence boxes, numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. In each box there were things that people in the middle ages thought would cure the black death. Some boxes had food, animals such as chickens and frogs, prayers, church bells,black and yellow bile, phlegm and even whips. Then we got investigation charts that had the box numbers on them, then we wrote what was in the boxes, and wrote how we thought they would cure the black death, and why the middle ages people thought these things would have cured the black death. I thought the cures were very weird  and some were yucky.
