Ancient Civilisation Mayan Museum

Mrs Ahmed

Today, we explored Mayan Artefacts by creating a Museum. We looked at Masks, Vessels and Pottery that sourced from the Mayan time period.


Chichen Itza Visual Reality – Children had the chance to use the VR headsets to look at Chichen-Itza – one of UNESCO’s ancient wonders of the world! What an experience!

Using our inference and knowledge from the Museum, we then observed paintings that were conducted by Frederick Catherwood (An English Artist). His work depicted the Mayan civilisation, through paintings of idols, temples and daily cultural life.

    It was alright learning about the Mayan’s because we could have a virtual experience of what the ancient buildings were like ( e.g chichen Itza).
    As well as we explored the different ancient monuments that lied in ancient Mexico.
