New topic... Mexico

For our Art2Start, we looked briefly at the Mexican custom of celebrating the lives of their loved ones during the 'Day of the Dead' before decorating skulls in this style. We focused on incorporating floral patterns, bright colours and symmetry.

In our topic lessons, we have looked at the ancient civilisation of the Maya (who lived in part of modern Mexico. We found the extent of their civilisation on a map and compared this site to their modern-day countries. In addition, we have looked at what they believed and started to explore their everyday life. We shall be continuing with this learning next week.
