Term One

Science - Animal Encounter Visit

As part of our Science unit ‘Adaptation and Evolution’, the children took part in an animal encounter workshop where they got to hold, stroke and learn about how some animals have adapted to their environment.

Term Two

DT - Make a waistcoat

Year 6 developed their sewing skills in a recent DT unit where they designed and created waistcoats, with buttons and pockets, for a teddy bear.

PE - Gymnastics

In this unit the children learnt how to incorporate movement into their gymnastic routines. They explored a range of balances and, using animals as an inspiration, thought about how they could link these movements. In the final lesson, the children used the wall bars and thought about how they could move up and down the bars.

Science T2 – classification

During our classification unit, children learnt how plants are classified into different categories. They then used known facts about each plants’ features to make a 3D plant collage.
