As part of Class 4's topic on Amazing Mayans we having been finding out about Mayan stelae; a stela is a large statue of Mayan ruler complete with glyphs (Mayan picture writing) . The Mayan stelae tell important information about the rulers such as dates ruled, other tribes defeated and other accomplishments.
Class 4 sketched their own glyphs and designed a stela. Over the past two days they have been creating their stela from clay using a variety of techniques.
