  • Rhine Mayan Morning

    Published 27/03/19

    Today archaeologist, Afrikana Smith came to talk to Rhine about his work in the hot, dense jungles of the Central America.  

    He was able to bring along some of the artefacts (usually located in museums) which included an array of weapons from knives to axes!  

    We took part in a dramatisation of the Old World (Europe) and New World (Americas etc) clash, resulting in the take over by the Spanish.

    We trained to be Maya warriors and hunters as well as playing a game of Ulama where in Mayan times the winning or losing team would be given to the Underworld!

    As part of our trip to We the Curious Rhine Class took part in the 'Launch It Show' to support their curiosity and learning in Science and the World around them. 

    They investigated how propulsive forces and explosions were used to launch Yuri Gagarin, the first person to travel into space.  Click to see how a hydrogen balloon reacted with oxygen and release lots of energy.
