There is an awesome new display in the Library that is generating quite some interest with the staff and students. Aside from providing the space to show it off, it isn't part of the Library - but definitely come and have a look. It is certainly very impressive.The Year 8s did a great job.
SCALE SAMURAI SWORDS
Year 8 students have been studying feudal governments in Japan in SOSE classes (Studies of Society and Environment). As part of that work students became interested in the armour and weaponry of Japanese Samurai.
In their maths class some of the students produced replicas of Samurai swords. They made full sized wooden models of the Katana (long sword), Wakizashi (short sword) and Tanto (dagger). The dimensions were based on internet information about average sizes for these weapons.
Following this, the students calculated lengths of half sized and one third sized models. The models were mounted on boards and are displayed in the library for viewing.
Congratulations to Dylan, Jaken, Joseph, Maclloyd, Angus, Jackson, Nemiah, Rickane and Elvis for completing the work without injury
