Mayan and Aztecs Day

Year 4 celebrated the end of the half-term with a Mayan and Aztec day filled with lots of fun activities to further their learning of these Ancient civilisations. The children worked together to create class Aztec calendars using the Aztec writing and number system. They worked in small groups to give a friend a 'glow up' to look like a Mayan Noble member of society, using face paint, creating jewellery, headdresses and clothes. Finally, they also tasted some traditional Mayan food, including their own tortillas that they created earlier in the week in their Food DT lesson. Year 4 have worked hard and enjoyed this term's history topic!
