History – The girls have been learning about the ancient civilisation of ‘The Aztecs’. Some interesting facts are: They lived in the City of Tenochtitlan, which is just outside present day Mexico city. They would sacrifice a person each day, usually an enemy or a slave, as they believed that the sun died at the end of each day and needed human blood in order to rise again the next day! Thankfully this practise is no longer carried on! Punishment for children in school, was to be pricked by a cactus plant! Something the girls are happy that their own teacher doesn’t do!
Music/Drama – Final rehearsals this week are going well and costumes are looking good.
Art – We completed our Art Construction projects this week. They turned out great. Well done to the girls for excellent team work and cooperation.
PE – This week was our last week of Yoga. The girls thoroughly enjoyed each Thursday and hopefully they will use some of the techniques learned in the own lives. Thanks to Rachel, their instructor, for her leadership. Namaste!
