This week, the children in year 4 took part in a special workshop to find out more about the Mayan civilization that they have been learning about in their history lessons. The children explored a range of artefacts, tasted the food that Mayans ate and explored their number system. Afterwards, the children created their own drama performances based upon what they had learnt! Elaina-Mai said, “I enjoyed acting out a death ritual where we learnt how Mayans prepared a body for the afterlife.” Archie added, “We acted out a Mayan ball game where the winners of the game were sacrificed. Some would be decapitated or they had their heart extracted.”
