Good Morning!
Owls have been super busy this week learning all about The Shang Dynasty.
On Friday, we had a range of images of artefacts from the dig at Yinxu. We examined them and talked in our groups about what they could be! We remembered our conversation with an archaeologist last year and asked questions such as, "how did it get here?", "what was this used for?" and "what does it tell me?" We came up with some wonderful ideas and learnt a lot about life in The Shang Dynasty!
We continued our research on Monday but this time we used secondary sources (which we know to be written after the event) to answer questions about The Oracle Bones! We found out that oracle bones were used for divination - which was a way of communicating with gods and ancestors!
Here are some pictures of us at work!
