What we have been up to!!!

This term, Year five and six have been learning about the Mayans and how they lived and who they believed in. 

Apparently, as a new born baby, they would flatten their foreheads with a plank of wood; put spinning objects in front of their eyes to give them cross eyes; file their teeth and also drill a hole in them and put jade inside. 

We also found out that they sacrifice their people or hostages to the gods or give blood samples with anything they could find just to please the gods.   Did you know that the Mayans had over 150 gods?  

We’re also having a Mayan workshop so we can find out more interesting and gory facts about them.
