OUR TRIP TO THE CEMETERY

By: Florence

During this unit, we went to the

Happy Valley Cemetery. This is

what we thought.

Central idea : People and places have histories that can be

uncovered and interpreted through a variety of sources.

WHAT MY GROUP LEARNED

Some tomb stones do not have a body under

A huge population of people in the graves are young children and soldiers

If the soil is fresh, it means that the person was buried not a long time ago

Some visitors put fake flowers on the graves to make it look better

FAVORITE PICTURES

Florence: I like this picture because

from it I can see a small bump which

shows me that this grave has a body

under.

Owen: I like this picture

because a soldier was

buried in this grave

QUESTIONS

Why are there mostly small graves instead of big graves?

Why do some graves have weird numbers and letters for example S16A?

How do people carve letters and numbers on graves?

THE DEATH

Some people died because

of old age , poverty,

drowning but most people

die of sickness.
