In Middle Ages in Europe



IN MIDDLE AGES MONKS WROTE BOOKS

Pupils of grade 5a and their Polish teacher Ms Katarzyna Skotnicka learned about the history and art of books in Medieval Times and made a film about it.  Before the invention of printing machines books were handmade and treasured as works of art and as symbols of knowledge. They were written by monks and the monasteries had first libraries. The handwriting was very neat and painstaking so the book creation required hard work and patience. 

AND ARTISTS MADE BEAUTIFUL STAINED GLASS 

WINDOWS 

Art teacher Ms Jolanta Kawalec and pupils of classes 5 a and 5 b studied about medieval cathedrals and beautiful stained glass. They visited our cathedral and then made tissue paper stained glass.
