To make a weapon...? Help!

My son has to make a weapon from the Shang Dynasty...

I am thinking a dagger... but I am not creative at all!

Any ideas? Is this a paper mache job? 😂😭

You (or your child) will want to use papier-mâché to make a dagger-axe and finish with bronze paint.
Check out the art institute of Chicago pages for some designs.

Why are they allowing weapons or encouraging making them in school when knife crime is so prevalent?

Disgusting. Have you spoken to the governors?

It's going to be made of paper not metal. Children are educated by being shown the realities of history not a sanitised picture.

But it encourages violence

No it doesn’t. Studying history discourages violence.

How?

My husband had a symbolic Kirpan all through school, as do most Sikhs, Have you ever heard of this causing any type of violence, at all?

So do most TV programmes, the news, films, computer games, books, pretty much everything. History is the one thing we can teach children that shows the reality of violence and what it leads to.

I mean, I assume they won't be doing any knifing at school with them... so I don't think it's that awful... or maybe they are going to do a huge Shang Dynasty re-enactment

🤣🤣🤣

Yes and after February half term the school have hired horses to re-enact jousting during first play time. Lunch will be a medieval banquet, followed swiftly by the court jester being be-headed for treason.

So we didn't get an answer as to why making a fake antique is encouraging violence?
