The yellow reading group was reading about' Keeping The Past Alive.'
We learnt about how the people in the future kept the things in the past still in the same piece.
Another thing we learnt about is, in the museum they use special chemicals to protect the important and precious things.
We learnt about the Mona Lisa painting that Leonardo da Vinci created and how it is protected .
Something that is special to you and reminds you of something good that has happened, is a treasure. This means you want to keep it for as long as possible. You need to look after your precious things. You need to keep things clean and polished in a protective box or a container. eg medals, toys, books etc.
Nature is helpful in preserving hard objects like shells, bones and teeth . Sometimes these things are buried in mud or sand and can turn into fossils. We know a lot about dinosaurs, because scientist studied fossils of their bones.
Some ways of perserving objects are :
BONE:
*dry it and clean it
*put it in a special container! Don't bend it or fold it!
INSECTS:
*dry it out
*put it somewhere that other insects can't eat it. E.g. picture frame under glass.
*pin it so that parts don't break off.
PAINTING:
*don't really handle it too much
*protect it in a frame
*don't always put it in a sunny place
I hope you enjoyed our work!
