Dioramas!

So far this school year has been the year of Dioramas.

A couple of weeks ago we were reading about the beginning of Islam and the Muslim influence in Europe and Africa after the fall of Rome.

So here are some pictures of an Islam market c.700A.D.

Each kid took a piece of the market place this was Seth's rug shop.









This is Faith's cloth shop with Kylee's smith shop in the background.










This is a front view of Kylee's smith shop. I love the donkey with a pack of beans!

Joshi didn't do a shop this week, but made a scimitar, which was really cool, but too fun and got played with and destroyed before I had a chance to photograph it :(





This last week we started in on the feudal system in Europe during the dark ages. Their dioramas were to show one of the four parts of medieval life. Kylee choose the church. Love her stained glass!!





Faith chose the royalty. Unfortunately this isn't the best picture but she did a great job!








Seth, of course, chose knights. His guys are hilarious!







Joshi did the peasants. His sheep are adorable, made out of clay then covered in cotton.






Ideally the whole diorama is to be stuck together and hung so I will have to get on that.
