Autumn Term Topic- Superstructures And Tangled Leaves

As part of our historical exploration we will be exploring the life of the Mayas. The Maya were an ancient civilisation of people who lived in an area that used to be known as Mesoamerica. People had lived in the area from around 5000 BC but it wasn't until around 300 BC that the first cities started to form. The Maya script is the most sophisticated and highly developed writing system in the pre-Columbian Americas and we will be using it to decode messages.
