We hope to see you this Thursday for our presentation of the Jataka Tales, stories inspired by the Buddha. Join us in our homeroom at 2:15 on Thursday.
As you can see from the pictures below, we have had a very busy few weeks in Fifth Grade. There’s a few from when the students were learning the ancient art of batik which originated in India. Using hot wax to create a resist, the students applied dye to pieces of muslin to create tapestries. You’ll also see pictures of the exciting stage in mummifying our chickens (which have been “living” in the homeroom since November) where the students applied the oil and spices before wrapping the mummies in gauze. They also spent some time making supplies for the chickie-mummies to take the afterlife.
