What we have been up to in 5th class A......

We have been very busy in 5th class over the past few weeks. Here is a snippet of what we have been up to. 

We participated in European Active Week, we all went down to the P.E and played some really fun games. We learned how to play some new games, we really liked the game 'Keep your flag', this game is a little like tag rugby where the catchers have to get both of your tags.

 Take a look at the pictures below, we got some great ACTION shots.  

As well as ' Keep your Flag' we played our favourite game of all,  DODGE BALL. 

Here are some pictures of us!

Next up in History we were learning about 'The Maya'.


We studied these Native Americans at school and we created interesting and informative projects.


We had great fun learning about these people, we learned that they were a forward thinking people who had an excellent knowledge of mathematics. We discovered that these people had a lunar (monthly) count of 29/ 30 days and an agricultural year of 365 days.
Something that we still use today.


We also used 'The Maya' people as a stimulus for our Art lesson during the week.

 We recreated the native 'Mayan' masks which played a central role in Maya culture. They were made for a variety of occasions and purposes. In fact, they were even used to decorate temples.



Here are picture of some of our projects and masks, take a look at them we had great fun re-creating these masks.
