China’s creation story is about a dog called Pangu. Pangu was in a egg and like all normal animals in eggs he broke out with an axe, the gooey stuff spilled out and became the earth. Pangu created the world. Pangu’s hair was the stars, his eyes were the moon and sun, the plants were made of his skin and the rain, the sweet rain was made of spit.

On Tuesday 8th march 2011 p4\5 held a museum exhibition. It started at 1:30 to 3:00. We held it because our topic was on history. In the morning Bowmore P5\6 came over to look at our museum. We all had had a different table to work at. I was at the information desk with Eilidh. We were selling bookmarks,delft tiles and leaflets. There was a desk that you could go to try old food like Dundee cake,oatcakes with goats cheese and venison and there was viking bread. I had a bit of Dundee cake and it was very nice. We had interactive displays and timelines, toys, bedrooms and kitchens from the past. P6/7 did a World War 2 display as well. A lot of adults came to see our museum. I had a great time.
