Maya History Project

Hello year 6,

I hope that you have all had a lovely weekend  😊

 

The Maya Civilisation is a topic that we had planned to teach you about during the summer term; unfortunately we did not have the chance, but we do not want you to miss out. Therefore, we would like you to research and create and present your findings.

The areas that we would have taught you about and would like you to research  are:

Maya period within History

Timeline of key Maya events

Location of Maya civilisation

Religion

Everyday life

Farming

Food

Hieroglyphics

Buildings

Games

What happened to end the Maya civilisation?

Similarities and differences

 

Below are links to resources and videos to help you.

We would love to see what you create and to be able to share them with your friends. Please send your projects to year6team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk by 4pm on Thursday 25th June.

 

Happy researching,

Year 6 Team 😊

Staying Home Storybook

Andersen Press

Are you struggling to keep your child motivated with school work?

Here is a book that explores the struggles that come with staying at home. The book shows a family of raccoons going through a day in lock down. It touches on children’s responsibilities and how it is important to continue to do things like exercise and your school work!
