We investigated how saliva 'attacks' starch during STEM week.
We enjoyed constructing and launching our rockets during STEM week.
Hampton Court Palace
(Beatboxing!)
I’ve never seen a mayan in the flesh
But I saw Apocalypto when it came to the movies
And I’m aware of their address
On the Yucatan, Central America
They lived in places like Tikal, Copan, over in Belize
West in Palenque, north in Chichen Itza
Travel there, you’ll find pyramids everywhere
Everyone had earrings, tattoos, faces painted dark red
Crossed eyes, Make up and sloping foreheads
But they don’t care, they’re not embarrassed by what they wear
And I’m loving the Mayans (mayans)
And they love making blood run
Religious rituals were done
And human sacrifice was fun
The halach uinic’s the ruler (ruler)
In Mayan it means true man
And baby they ruled (they rules, they ruled, they ruled)
The city states on the Yucatan
(Beatboxing)
In mayan math I’ve cracked the code
I know the calendar that they designed is now global
And everyone that knows me knows (knows)
Had I lived back then, I would have been a noble
And all the peasants would farm the land for peppers, corn and cacao
Build all the temples, time to fight a war now
Say a prayer, their lives were heading into despair
Artisans were carving glyphs and churning Mayan art out
Head down, work hard, or they’ll cut your heart out
Kings don’t care
Their social systems were never fair
Still I’m loving the Mayans (Mayans)
They just really, really rock
You know they would never balk
At a deadly game of pok a tok
No group has been cooler (cooler)
I think that we can all agree
They were so cool (they rule, they rule, they ruled)
Until 900 AD
Oooooh, oooh, OH NO
600 years they were fine
Then they started to decline
Oooooh, oooh, OH NO
And despite our queries
Today we’ve only got theories
About the fall of the Mayans (Mayans)
It really makes me feel sad
Maybe the soil it went bad
Or the peasants just got mad
And overthrew their ruler (Ruler)
For being such a silly schmo
So why did they fall (they fall, they fall, they fall)?
Well I guess we’ll never know
