Half Term Project Details and Homework Ideas

YEAR 6 – Hola Mexico!

Deadline: Friday 7th February

The new projects run for the first half of the Spring term to Friday 7th February. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home. 

Below are a list of ideas for each project, try one of these or something else project related.

• How do the different areas of Mexico compare to each other? Make a face file to compare major cities, such as Mexico City, to the mountains of Puebla and the beaches of Cancun.

• Find out about Mexican flowers, trees and animals. Some are really different to the ones in UK! Record what you learn in a notebook or picture chart.

• Research traditional Mexican foods such as guacamole, tacos, quesadilla or enchiladas and design a menu for a Mexican feast. You could even recreate it yourself!

• Find out more about Maya hieroglyphs and symbols. Can you write your name or a short message to a friend?

• Plan an imaginary trip or holiday to Mexico. Look at holiday brochures or research online. How many ways are there to get there? How long would it take? How much would it cost? Make an itinerary for your trip, showing what you would like to see and do while you are there.

• Try making your own musical instruments – simple drums, guitars, shakers – from everyday household objects, like plastic bottles, elastic bands, and rice.

• Design and build your own Maya temple using junk materials, such as cardboard boxes, newspaper and card.

• Explore the life and artwork of famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Make a fact file about her or recreate one of her pieces.

• In RE, we will be learning about Buddhism. Can you design a game or poster to teach people about the 8-fold path?

• In French, we will be learning about vocabulary to describe our homes. Can you draw a picture of where you live and label it in French?
