MEXICAN MAYHEM
Where is Mexico?
Who were the Maya?
In this unit, children will compare the Maya and the Anglo-Saxons. We will learn about the Maya civilisation.
We will also investigate how the Maya settled in the rainforest, their religious beliefs, homes and what archaeological remains tell us about Maya cities. Using primary evidence, they will examine theories into how the Maya cities declined.
To see our curriculum in more detail please see the newsletter.
Jigsaw - PSHE
Our Jigsaw topic, this half term, is 'Dreams and Goals'.
We will talk about their own strengths and further stretch ourselves by setting challenging and realistic goals. We will discuss the learning steps we’ll need to take as well as talking about how to stay motivated. We will explore various global issues and explore places where people may be suffering or living in difficult situations – whilst doing this we will reflect on our own emotions linked to this learning. We will also work on giving others praise and compliments.
There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
