Fifth graders just completed these amazing Maccabee sculptures. The level of detail and care they put into this project was just remarkable to see. They worked hard in class and even came in during their recess time to pour more of their time and energy into their sculptures! They started the project by sketching and brainstorming their Maccabee's backstory.
Ari (above) is a female Maccabee who is a warrior and makes weapons. Her mother's name is Leah and her mother is Saul. One time, she saved another person's life!
Liron is a soldier. He has a sister, parents, and even a girlfriend. His breastplate is made of iron!
This Maccabee above is quite the fashionista- check out her high heels!
Yaakov is a warrior. He has a brother named Benjamin.
This is Malka. Her name means Queen- look at her golden crown! She has a husband and a daughter. She represents female leadership and she helped her town and her people.
Lazar is a simple salesman who sells food. He is the oldest of six brothers. Poor Lazar got into a fight with a bear once and it almost clawed out his eye.
Benyamin is a hunter. He has a brother named Yaakov. Poor Benyamin once broke his arm and his leg at the same time!
Great to see these Maccabees! Love the materials used and the concept of creating a character.
