Who were the Ancient Maya?

This week in Year 6, we have begun our new History topic, focusing on the Ancient Maya Civilisation.
We have been discovering who the Maya were, when they lived and where they settled. We found out that the Maya lived across parts of Central America and southern Mexico, and that their civilisation began to develop over 4,000 years ago!
We are all very excited to learn more about this fascinating civilisation and discover what life was like for the ancient Maya!
