The Aztecs

Our senior classes have been learning all about the Aztecs over the last few weeks.

The children have used their creative juices to create some very colourful Aztec inspired face masks.

While learning about the Aztecs, we learned about their chinampas - or floating gardens, and we decide to see if we could design our own. We used a variety of recyclable materials and created structures that not only needed to float, but needed to float while holding a large amount of soil inside. We used our school pond to test our chinampas to see if they would float and were delighted to see that most did!
