Current Learning

 

Our topic for term 2 will start with the Ancient Maya civilisations where we will be comparing and contrasting our knowledge of the Egyptians with the Maya civilisation of Mesoamerica. We will also be studying the physical geography of South America and the Amazon basin, exploring this resource-rich environment. We will also be linking our art studies to this topic, where we will be 3d modelling and sculpting with clay to create pinch and coil pots in the Maya style. 

If you would like to do some of your own research about Ancient Maya, then please feel free to use the following links:
