Timbuktu

Timbuktu is a city in Mali in Northern Africa,  

Timbuktu is just north of the Niger river.

Timbuktu became a permanent settlement 

in the 12th century. Timbuktu has a population 

of about 32,460.  

This is a Camel I drew as my project for Timbuktu.

I decided to study Timbuktu as something to do while 

I am at home. Instead of coloring the Camel it's normal 

color, I decided to put things in the Camel to do with 

Timbuktu.One of the things is a slab of salt another is 

a great mosque, some of the other things are flowers, 

mountains, and sand all from Timbuktu. 

My dad once visited Timbuktu, so I gave him 10 

questions to test his knowledge. The questions I gave him 

were ones including; what is the capital of Mali? and how 

many great mosque's are there in Timbuktu? 

3 things I learnt about Timbuktu are that the first french

 explorer to go to Timbuktu on foot was René-Auguste 

Caillié , there are 3 great mosque's in Timbuktu and 

that France took over Timbuktu in 1894.  I found all this 

information  in https://www.wonderopolis.org/

Room 14’s Class Treaty

      

Our class has a treaty that is made
of four values, Care,Share,Learn
and Grow. The four values represent
lots of different sayings and things
you need to do. The values also
represent houses. You can be in either
Red house, Blue house, Green house or
Yellow house. When you start school in
year 1 you get assigned to a house. I am
red house. This year I want to work on
Learn, to have a go at new learning.
