At today’s assembly, Class 7 presented some of their work from their Renaissance Main Lesson

At today’s assembly, Class 7 presented some of their work from their Renaissance Main Lesson. Students shared items they had created, including a recipe book, weapons and clothing from the Renaissance era.

The study of the Renaissance provides a backdrop for much of the Class 7 year, providing lessons in history, science, mathematics, geography, literature and art. The Renaissance artist wished to be recognized for his own work, the scientist challenged old truths with newly developed tools for measuring the world, the religious rebel rejected the dictates of authority. Likewise, the adolescent is driven by these forces.

For the past 4 weeks, the students of Class 11 have been working with Ms

For the past 4 weeks, the students of Class 11 have been working with Ms. Valyashko to discover the chemistry behind their favourite recipes.

Through the Food Chemistry main lesson, they’ve explored the roles of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other essential nutrients that keep our bodies running.

This hands-on experience has brought science to life in the kitchen. Students have worked together to knead fresh bread, make pasta from scratch, experiment with different ways to cook eggs, and bake sweet treats.

To end the main lesson, each student created a unique recipe and explained the chemistry behind what makes their dish delicious.

Natural materials speak to the soul of the child

Natural materials speak to the soul of the child.

At our Kura, the wool is tailor hand-dyed for the different projects that the students make in their Handwork lessons. The students play an active part in selecting colours, spinning the wool dry and spinning the skeins into balls of wool.

By being actively involved in the process, the students form an appreciation of the process and take more ownership in how they use the materials. Later in life, the natural materials will speak to the moral compass of the individual, forming a love for the world and all things good and beautiful.
