‘You have provided us with a wonderful, enjoyable, educational and highly interesting morning. Many thanks!’ - Medstead CE Primary School.
Total presentation time is (excluding breaks) a MINIMUM of 2 hours, after which we like to allow time for questions, and for some close-up viewing of the artefacts on display in groups.
Some of the subjects touched on include: founding of the Aztec capital, every-day life, education and the family, sex roles, clothing styles, basic diet, markets, jewellery and decorative arts, religion, gods, human sacrifice, birth/death and duality, predictions, calendars, the Sunstone and the codices, ‘writing’ systems, music, chanting and dance and their role in public ceremonies, and the ancient ritual ballgame.

* Why not invite parents in to share the experience? Year 4 pupils at Mary Exton JMI School, Hitchin, May 2008, view some of our Aztec artefacts display with their parents (Click on image to enlarge) |
The whole presentation has high visual impact, and well-loaded cameras are a must!* This programme is ideal for a medium-large size audience (say 50-150 children). When to get us in: because we assume no prior knowledge of the topic many schools love to use us to kickstart the Aztecs, others want us in the middle, others at the end - it’s up to you! If you want to know our preference you’ll have to ask...!
