Spring 1 Project: Mexico

Bienvenido a Mexico! We’re going to explore this unique country, from its towering temples to its fun-packed festivals.
During this half term, we’ll hold a traditional Mexican celebration where we’ll not only learn about their vibrant culture but we will get to taste the delights of the Mexican cuisine. 
We’ll learn about the Ancient Maya civilisation and the ‘Day of the Dead’, before creating 3-D skulls. From the Chihuahuan Desert to the temples of Chichén Itzá, we’ll leave no stone unturned. Using maps, we’ll locate Mexico and explore its natural features. We’ll discover what daily life is like and how it has changed over time. 
Help your child prepare for their project
Mexico is a fascinating land full of music and celebration. Why not work together and use non-fiction books or online research to find out about the impressive landmarks of Mexico? You could also look at holiday brochures or websites to plan an imaginary trip to Mexico. Alternatively, you could sample Mexican food in a restaurant or at home.
