Year 6 took part in an exciting Mayan workshop to launch their new history topic.
The children explored a range of Mayan artefacts 🗿 and traditional clothing 👘, and had great fun playing a traditional Mayan game 🎲. They also learned about the Mayan alphabet ✍️ and number system 🔢, discovering how the civilisation communicated and recorded information.
To truly bring the Mayan civilisation to life, the children used VR headsets 🥽 to visit a variety of Mayan city states 🏛️, giving them a fascinating insight into daily life and architecture.
In the afternoon, creativity took centre stage as the children made traditional worry dolls 🧸 and hand‑woven baskets 🧺, inspired by Mayan culture.
A great day was had by all!
