The Fire

Hi bloggers!

Can you guess why the fire was such an important discovery in the Prehistory? Did you know that they made it using a bow and a string?

These are some of the questions we have been trying to solve in Time Tunnel classes, with the students of 1st ESO.  To make it easier we played and interactive game, and we made fire!!!! It was just virtually, don't panic!! 

Our Coat of Arms

As we were studying the Medieval Ages, the students of Time Tunnel in 1st ESO have designed in groups their coat of arms.  In that time, few people could read or write, so pictures were very important to communicate ideas.

Knights especially depended of pictures to express their identity. Each of these pictures had a especial meaning and when they were combined, they formed a Coat of Arms.

For this project, they follow these steps:

Coat of arms

This term, the students of Time Tunnel have studied the Medieval Ages and they have pretended to be knights. Every knight had a coat of arms with a motto and they have created their own one!! Can you see them??? Watch the video and check it!!

The Amazing Greeks!

This week in Time Tunnel, the students of 1st ESO are studying the Greek culture. First, we analysed the different parts of the theatre and we discovered that women couldn't perform in the plays. It was unfair! Only men and boys could do it!!

Later we learnt that to be a good soldier, boys had to follow a hard and long training but also study music and dancing!

Posters about the Prehistory and the Egyptians

The students of Time Tunnel have created some digital posters to show the things they know about the Prehistory and the Egyptians.

If you want to know how they lived, their religion, their society..., you just need to open this book and you will find all the information there!

Egyptian scribes in the school!

As we told you, here you have some photographs with the best hieroglyphics. All the students were happy and proud to show their names written in this curious language. 

If you want to try with your own names, you can go to:

Hieroglyphics

In Time Tunnel, we have learnt how to write our names with hieroglyphics. Like the ancient Egyptians!!!! Next week we are going to choose the best one. We will inform you!

The Egyptian Religion

Was it easy to make mummies? How many Gods did they have?

We have been finding the answers to questions like this in class, in Time Tunnel. The students have looked for information about their Gods and finally they have made a real mummy!

Do you know that they didn't remove the heart from the dead?
