On Tuesday 12 May 2026, Year 4 pupils will be taking part in a Mayans experience day as part of their history learning this Summer term. The experience will help bring this period of history to life as pupils explore daily life in the ancient world, including, Maya beliefs, rituals and ceremonies, the Maya calendar and the role of chocolate in Maya culture.

The workshop will be delivered in school by staff and some of the activities the children will participate in are a sample of temple painting, Maya writing on tree bark, a soap carving of Maya symbols, a necklace, a headdress and a coiled clay pot. Please click here for more information.
