Vikings originally came from Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
The name Viking means "pirate" and they could sail huge distances.
500 years before Chistofer Columbus discovered the American continent, vikings had visited its shores.
The vikings still live in England today.

The Ancient Mayan lived in Mexico and Guatemala. They had no central king and developed the science of astronomy, calendar systems and hieroglyphic writing.
They also built pyramids, temples and palaces. They were very religious people and farmers.
Many theories try to explain why they disappeared but they are still living in their own regions.
Felipe, David, Víctor and Alejandra were our teachers. Well done!
Did you know that Rome was founded by Romulus? That thanks to their strong army they conquered new lands? Thet they built roads, walls and aqueducts? That they liked to enjoy their food?
We were ready for a journey back in time and Miguel, Shania and Julen were the best teachers. Thanks!
Today it is the turn of China. Adrián, Ane, Lexuri, Lucía B and Uxue were our teachers this time. We were given interesting information about ancient China (jobs, arquitecture, emperors, inventions, geography...).
We received the visit of Robert Swartz, Director of the National Center for Teaching Thinking.
He watched one of our lessons and we had a good time with him.
We want to become good thinkers!
