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.
