CLASS FIVE
The teaching moves from myth to history – from mythological time to earthly time and to learning the inter-relatedness of life through plant, animal and the earth. They will review and further develop their skills in fractions and decimals. The class will participate in an annual pentathlon event where they will play the ancient games of running, jumping, discus throwing, javelin and wrestling.
