Y6 History

Autumn

Autumn 1 – This term year 6 have been learning about “The Maya” who were founded in Mexico which was known then as Mesoamerica. We have developed an understanding of where the Mayan where from and what types of writing and symbols they used (hieroglyphs). We have enhanced our learning by learning about Lady Xoc and Lord Jaguar and the ritual that they carried out known as bloodletting. We have explained and annotated what mayan gods where like and what they built, looking at how they started ancestors.

Autumn 2 – This term year 6 have been learning about Ethiopia and Benin.
Year 6 will also study black history, where they will research a famous figure discussing what contributions they had, what makes them a significant figure and how they made a difference.
