The Classical Maya: Lost but not forgotten

This week, in year 6, we explored some of the artefacts and ruins that were found in the Yucatan Peninsula. They were crafted and constructed by the Maya: a civilisation that spread throughout the Yucatan Peninsula  in modern-day Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Southern Mexico and El Salvador.

We used our observation and inference skills to suggest what the purpose of these building and artefacts were when they where first constructed.
