30th June to 3rd July
We have made good progress with our technology project this week and most of our models are nearing completion. We also spent some time trying to finish off a number of pieces of writing for our geography and RE projects and for our Kensuke's Kingdom work.
We had a special day today as we had a history day when we played the "Aztec Village Game". Each group represented a different Aztec Clan which had to manage its chinampas (farm land) to grow next year's crop while at the same time managing this years food store to ensure that it lasts until the new crop is gathered in. Some work has to be done for the local Lord and spare time is spent making things for the family home or the clan. We decided the winning clan at the end of the day by a vote.
We also received our SATs tests back in school and were pleased with the results.
