First, Mrs Clayton, who is a frequent visitor to Mexico, spoke to the class about her visit to a Maya temple at Coba and the 120 steps she climbed up to reach the top. Children learnt about the ‘stelae’, a rock with pictures and hieroglyphs on which have provided historians with information about how the Maya people lived. Thankyou Mrs Clayton for giving up your time to talk to us about the Maya! Then, we used the iPads to go on a virtual tour of the Maya civilizations, giving us the opportunity to look in detail at the different temples and buildings that the Maya used thousands of years ago. ### y3 Maya talk [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0696.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0696.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0697.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0697.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0698.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0698.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0699.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0699.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0700.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0700.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0701.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0701.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0702.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0702.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0703.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0703.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0704.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0704.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0705.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0705.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0706.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0706.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0707.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0707.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17039/IMG_0708.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/17039/IMG_0708.JPG) [ Sound ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2018-02-21-11-42-27-sound) [Reception Class are Springing into Spring ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2018-02-23-17-01-01-reception-class-are-springing-into-spring) ### Our School - [Headteacher's Welcome](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/headteacher-s-welcome) - [School Vision ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision) - [Mission Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision/mission-statement) - [Academy Trust Details](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/academy-trust-details) - [Financial Information](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/financial-information) - [History](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/history) - [Our School Day](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/our-school-day) - [Staff list](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/meet-the-staff) - [Job Vacancies](https://recruit.sampeople.co.uk/Jobboard/Trust/aspirationalfutures/00002) - Governors - [Local Governing Board](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/governors) - [Special Educational Needs](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sen) - [Ofsted](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports) - [Performance](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports/performance) - [Policies](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/policies) - [British Values Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/british-values-statement) - [General data Protection Regulation (GDPR)](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/data-protection-notice) - [Mental Health & Wellbeing](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/mental-health-wellbeing) - [Equalities](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/equalities) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) - [Staff Email](https://mail.google.com/) - [Staff Use Only](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/staff-use-only) - [OPAL Lunchtimes](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/opal-lunchtimes) - [Sustainability](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sustainability) ![Gillibrand Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/logo/gillibrand_logo_2.png) #### Gillibrand Primary School Grosvenor Road Chorley PR7 2PJ 01257 274983 #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) © Copyright 2015–2026 Gillibrand Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
