Autumn Theme – A Whole New World

 

Our topic this term is ‘A Whole New World’. During this topic, we will journey back in time to discover the New World and its explorers, while learning about the fascinating civilisation of the Mayans. We will explore Mayan life, their beliefs and the importance of the Gods, making comparisons between aspects of their lives and life in the modern day.

This term, our History learning will take us back to the Mayan civilisation, around AD 900. We will discover what life was like for the Mayans and explore the important role that the Gods played in their society. We will also learn about the New World and its explorers, making comparisons between the past and the modern day.

As Geographers, we will explore Central America, including what life is like in Mexico. We will investigate Mayan farming and consider whether a Mayan farm could work successfully in the UK. This will help us to think about how geography, climate and land use influence the way people live.
