Stars of the week: Azaria & Leonna.
This week in Class 5, we have been writing the chapters to our gripping Maya stories. I have been blown away by the impressive plot developments, figurative language, use of dialogue and short sentences for impact. Once we have published them, please feel free to come and have a read.
We spent our art lesson in Redcross Gardens, where we used our view finders in situ to draw samples of nature. Class 5 are enjoying using their sketch books like true artists; building on their ideas, experimenting with different mediums and annotating their reflections.
In history, we delved into the world of Maya diets by excavating fake coprolites (fossilised poo). Don’t worry, it wasn’t real. Class 5 were very attentive archaeologists and, by exploring the poo, discovered the type of food the Maya ate.
