Mysterious Mayans

24 hours in Mysterious Mayans. Year 3 welcomed a very special visitor into school today all the way from the Mayan civilisation. Our Mayan visitor began by teaching us some words and how to count to 10 in the Mayan language.

We learned about the beliefs of the Mayans and the many different ways in which they sacrificed people to please the Gods! We tried some Mayan food including chocolate, a special delicacy. Both classes took part in a drama workshop reenacting some of the facts they had learnt earlier in the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are looking forward to continuing to learn more about this exciting topic.
