Introduction to the Magnificent Maya Project! 
We are thrilled to unveil our latest project, the Magnificent Maya! To kick things off, we embarked on an exciting treasure hunt around the school. Armed with clues and a sense of adventure, they scoured every nook and cranny in search of hints that would lead us to discover more about the ancient Maya civilisation! 
This hands-on approach not only sparked curiosity but also ignited a passion for learning about history and culture. We developed our skills during the treasure hunt – teamwork, problem-solving, and creative thinking – we will undoubtedly enrich our overall experience throughout this project.
Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the fascinating world of the Maya, exploring their achievements in architecture, astronomy, and art. We can’t wait to share more of our discoveries with you!
✨ Let the adventure begin! ✨
 

📚 Inspiring Creativity at St Mark's with "Oh Maya Gods"! 🌟
At St Mark's, we believe that the power of literature can ignite the imagination and enhance our writing skills! This term, we delved into the captivating world of Oh Maya Gods by Maz Evans, an enchanting tale that perfectly blends adventure with rich character development.

Through this inspiring text, our budding writers have had the opportunity to create their very own diary entries, explore vivid setting descriptions, and craft unique character profiles. It's been a journey of creativity and self-expression, where each pupil has been encouraged to let their imagination run wild!

Here are just a few highlights of what our students have achieved:

✍️ Diary Entries: Students penned heartfelt reflections from the perspective of their favourite characters, bringing to life their thoughts and emotions.

🌆 Setting Descriptions: With Maz Evans' vibrant storytelling as their guide, pupils painted pictures with words, describing the mythical landscapes from the book.

👤 Character Descriptions: Each student took a deep dive into character analysis, capturing the quirks and complexities that make these figures leap off the page.

We are so proud of our students' creativity and dedication!
