Year 6 - Mayan Masterpieces

Year 6 have been using clay to create Mayan Pyramids. The original versions were built by the Mayan people who lived in Mexicao, nearly 3,000 years ago.  They were constructed for sacrificial rituals and sacred ceremonies using only wooden tools. Some pyramids were 200 feet high, with traps, tunnels and secret doors. We made detailed miniature versions, including steps and temples at the top -  it was lots of fun and proved how incredibly clever the Mayans were at architecture and construction!
