Year 6

On climate day, Year 6 had a fantastic time taking part in a SPAG treasure hunt outside, working together to solve clues while enjoying the fresh air. In Maths, we applied our measuring skills to draw a carefully scaled plan of the netball courts, showing great teamwork and accuracy. We also performed an excellent poem all about our love for the environment, which we delivered with confidence and enthusiasm. In the afternoon, we were lucky enough to take part in a workshop with Shine, where we practised the ‘Climate Joy’ song. Shine was incredibly impressed with our energy, positivity and enthusiasm!

Year 6 showed incredible knowledge of classification and were enthralled by the nature surrounding them. We were focusing on finding invertebrate's and in particular, arthropods including insects, arachnids and myriapods. Our curious, fearless and knowledgable year 6’s used magnifying glasses to find observable characteristics and then used a branching key to classify them theirselves. They took field notes and photographs of what they found with the aim of creating their very own branching keys within the classroom. What a brilliant day it was!
