Year 5 Curriculum

Ancient Maya

This term, the children will be studying the Ancient Maya civilization before learning about modern-day Mexico. They will begin by learning about the fascinating Maya people, who prospered in what we now refer to as Central America almost 2000 years ago, and their culture. The children will learn the location and features of some of the main Maya cities, the Maya religious beliefs (including sacrifices, gods and temples), how they dressed, how they farmed and what they ate. There will be an opportunity for the children to ask questions to Maya expert, Dr Diane Davies.
