YEAR 5 TRIPS AND VISITS

MEXICOLORE

Aztec and Mayan ancient cultures were the order of the day for the Year 5 boys as they immersed themselves in 15th century culture. Dressed in traditional clothing, the boys chanted and sang to the Sun God, and the morning culminated in playing the famous but rather difficult Aztec rubber ball game of ‘Ullamaliztli’.

The boys visited Kew Gardens to deepen their understanding of how plants and animals thrive within a rainforest environment. As well as participating in a number of workshops, they also enjoyed walking through the beautiful gardens. Particular highlights were the treetop walkway, tackling the log trail and exploring the dark passages of the badger sett.
