In History Year 6 have been exploring the ancient Maya civilisation. We have learnt who the ancient Maya   people were and where and when they lived. We have used maps and atlases to locate Maya cities and identify countries in Mesoamerica. We have also learnt about their beliefs, the Maya number system, the Maya writing system and the food eaten by the ancient Maya people. We completed a treasure hunt to find out facts and then ended our unit of work with a virtual experience where we took on the role of an Ancient Mayan.

Year 4 enjoyed learning about the Anglo Saxons this week in History.  In particular, they enjoyed finding place names established by the Anglo Saxons and their meanings.  Atlas skills from Geography were used to find some of those places on a map of Britain.

This week, Year 3 have been working on writing a non-chronological report about chocolate to link to our class text, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. We have learnt how chocolate is made and used this knowledge to write our report. We have included key features such as subheadings and glossaries. Great work Year 3!

This week the children in year 5 have been looking at the Stone Age. They have focused on how humans survived and the importance of Skara Brae. The children have really enjoyed delving into this interesting topic.

On Monday 21st November we all took the opportunity to watch the England match in school. Each class spent the afternoon cheering our team on in the match against Iran. We are all delighted at the result and are extremely proud of the resilience, teamwork and passion the England squad continue to show. They demonstrate some of our CHJS values to a very high standard!
