Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - History - Ancient Maya ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_7267.JPG) 29 September 2022 This term in history, Year 5 are learning about Ancient Maya. We are having a big focus on how does our own history differ from that of the Mayans? In today's lesson, the children looked at Maya's writing and compared it to our writing. We learnt that the Maya wrote on standing stone slabs (stelae), walls, pottery and on sculptures. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_7267.JPG) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/61A22122-B455-45C2-9F19-830C63CF5111.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-28-year-2-junior-jam-singing) Previous ### [Year 2 - Junior Jam - Singing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-28-year-2-junior-jam-singing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/E35C374D-1CE0-4C82-80D2-3F85D999C528.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-30-willow-plate-painting-year-4-art) Next ### [Willow Plate Painting Year 4 Art ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-30-willow-plate-painting-year-4-art) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
