Dear Aztec god of Civilisation and Learning, Please inspire us to become experts with keeping warm

We will present our learning about the Aztec Civilization in a variety of ways. We can use a method not available to the Aztecs – computers! We can also design questionnaires and enter the information collected into a database. We can then present the information using a range of different graphs.

Let the Aztec God of Creativity assist us with our studies. During RE sessions we will be finding out about the Aztec gods and goddesses, which there are many of with many different roles! In art sessions we will be experimenting with Aztec patterns to create vivid images and designs.
