My topic for Lamb and Calf Day was 'Writing'

This is my research about writing in the olden days. I did it in the holidays. We got books from the library. Then at school I wrote about how we write now days.

__Writing__

Stone age people picked up pieces of bone or stone and made scratches on rock. Picture messages were used. They had no pens or pencil so they used things around them like clay, bark, stones etc Wax covered tablets were used. The writing could be rubbed out and used again.

Reed pens and brushes were used to write in ink. Goose feathers were used for writing. They put the ink in the feather. They broke easily so a man invented a metal nib

The first pencils were invented by the Romans

Towards the end of the 19th century the first pen appeared that didn’t need to be dipped in ink.

George S Parker started the parker pen company and made fountain pens.

Laszlo Biro invented the first effective biro pen in 1945.

__Writing Now days__ Now we use pencils, pens and felts. We work on the computer to do writing. We write in books or on pieces of paper.

Paper and cardboard are made from wood. There are lots of different kinds of paper.

Mrs Cuming uses chalk to write on the blackboard and pen to write on the white board.

Pens are good to use they don’t need sharpening and you can write the window to make them go.

We can even print onto shirts with paint. Then we let it dry. I like writing.
