Well done to Tameem (6P) who was the only one to send in his work yesterday! I hope to see more of your work today.

Today we will be looking at Maya food…Yum!

Take a look at the video below. This is a parody video so it should make you chuckle.

Once you've watched the video, take a look at the PowerPoint presentation below where you will find today's activities. 

You will be solving some Maya food anagrams, researching Maya food, creating an inventory and debating whether chocolate or corn was more important in ancient Maya!

All the resources you need are available below. 

That's all for today. Remember to send your work in so we can take a look at them

Meeting the Maya

Today's session is an introduction to the Maya civilisation. I have provided a PP presentation for you which gives you some facts about the Maya as well as what you are required to do for this session. If you are able to, you can do some more of your own research online to support your learning. The aim of the session is to create an information guide about the Maya civilisation. I would love to see your finished guides so don't forget to email them to:

                               y6@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

You can use the mind map I have provided below or if you don't have a printer, you can create one yourself. 

Your next History lesson will be on Thursday. See you then, Mrs Patel

Walter Tull

Tull was born in Folkestone, Kent, the son of Barbadian carpenter Daniel Tull and Kent-born Alice Elizabeth Palmer. His paternal grandfather was a slave in Barbados. His maternal English grandmother was from Kent. He began his education at North Board School, now Mundella Primary School, Folkestone.^[3]

In 1895, when Tull was seven, his mother died of cancer. A year later his father married Alice's cousin, Clara Palmer. In 1896 Daniel died from heart disease. The stepmother was unable to cope with five children so Walter and Edward, were sent to an orphanage. From the age of 9, Tull was brought up in the (Methodist) Children's Home and Orphanage (now known as Action for Children) in Bethnal Green, London. His brother was adopted by the Warnock family of Glasgow, becoming Edward Tull-Warnock; he qualified as a dentist, the first mixed-heritage person to practise this profession in the United Kingdom.
