  The most interesting thing that I learnt about my historical site was that Katong Park was not only a park, but it was a Coconut Plantation, British Military Fort, Park, Japanese invasion airplane engine factory, and then a park again. It was used for so many different uses. If I had to do this again I would not maybe repeat my self over and over again and put more pictures to remind me of what I am going talk about instead of so much words add pictures.   Some of the information I learnt from my classmates that fascinated  me was that the Vitoria Theater Hall saved people from the Japanese bombing Singapore and that it was a Hospital in WW2 and it saved a lot of people's life when the Japanese bombed Singapore. Raffles Hotel 125 years old , and used to be 2 stories with 10 bedrooms now it is 2 stories with 62 sweets. Wow! Raffles Hotel grew a lot from back than till now. 

Today we watched Mr. Jon Cooper in the Gr.5 Group room. I learned that Archeologist means that things that people leaved behind and don't want them. Also I learned that Adams Park was kind of like a prison. It's were people are sent. The most interesting thing I found out was that  they get 22 onces of rice each day for food in Adams Park. I thought this was interesting because it is very small amount of food for one day too. Also because what the people give them for food.   Something I can use to help me in my research is online and books. Online has a lot of research but, you have to be careful because not all of it is true. Books are also good but , sometimes it is from one point of view. Questions I have for Mr.Jon Cooper or about WW2 in singapore: What thing did he find at Adam Parks? In the WW2 about how many people were killed?
