The Mayans
Welcome back! There are many exciting times ahead over the next six weeks as we venture into our study of the Mayans. We shall be learning about where, when and how the Mayans lived, their religious beliefs, their wonderful discoveries and their unique writing/number systems, as well as looking at foods which were important to the Mayans. This will lead us into a sweet challenge during the second half of the half term: Project Chocolate! Without revealing too much, pupils will be taking part in cross-curricular learning to take ownership to independently design, make and evaluate their own chocolate product! We shall also be heading over to Cadbury World on Tuesday 24th March!
