Year 5 weekly blog 22.9.23
Date: 22nd Sep 2023 @ 5:45pm
This week we had the pleasure of welcoming 'Big Nose' to school as part of our Maya Day. Dressed in Maya warrior clothing and with his painted face, Big Nose entertained the children throughout the day. They learnt all about the number system and the sacrificial rituals, and handled a range of fascinating Maya artefacts. They also took part in a drama workshop, which showcased their fabulous acting skills!
5H managed to escape the rain to play the Maya ball game of Pok-A-Tok. 5W will have their oppprtunity next week. The children experienced just how dificult a game it was to play.
We were also lucky to have an author visit us today (Friday). Josh Lacey came to school to share his latest book "Viking Attack" and answered lots of great questions from the children.
We have also begun our art topic on typography and have been experimenting with letter designs to really capture the imagination.
Next week, we are being visited by a horse. This experience forms part of our writing topic on "The Highwayman" and we are all very excited!
Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.
The Year 5 Team.
