This week, #Year6 explored how the heart, blood & circulatory system work together in our final #Science assessment.

We started with a #retrieval task inspired by Alex Quigley’s Connect 4, then used hexagon connections to show how the concepts link.

#Year6 explored online choices & their impact.

We used scenarios: forwarding screenshots, sharing photos without consent & unkind emojis.

Children judged OK, Not OK, Depends or Not sure.

STOP, THINK, CHECK, SHARE.

💻✨ In #Year6 Digital Citizenship we tackled gender stereotypes children may face online.

Many were shocked at writing them down, sparking a thoughtful discussion about how harmful they can be.

I’m intrigued by the idea that #teachers & #animators build an open-source library of free educational GIFs to model tricky processes in #science, #history, #maths & #geography?

Clear, simple, classroom-ready visuals anyone can use.

Would this help your #teaching? #edusky #primarysky

As part of our transition work, my new Year 6s explored the question: “What makes you, you?”

Each piece reflects a part of who they are: from proud moments to hopes for the future. The centre will be their photo.

Some powerful historical thinking in #Year6 this week.

Exploring the Middle Passage, children used image sources and a first-person account to infer, justify and reflect.

Linked to prior RE, Tudors & Windrush work, with a model to support trickier content.

Tried something new in #Year6 today – a Generate → Sort → Connect → Elaborate map for our #Science assessment on Evolution & Inheritance.

Flexible, light on writing, big on reasoning + talk. Loads of potential!

In #Year6, we’re exploring The Place for Me in English and learning about Floella Benjamin’s story.

Today’s task: summarise her impact in a word, sentence & paragraph - from “resilient” to “pioneer”.

This links closely to our History unit on the transatlantic slave trade. #History #Windrush

🔥 CPD online to a Windsor Academy Trust on the hottest day of the year… not easy!

Feedback like this makes it all worth it:

“Literally the best CPD I’ve had in a long time…”

An afternoon exploring task vs activity, core knowledge (shoutout @teacherhead.bsky.social), & adaptable task models!

📚 In Year 6 Science, we’ve been exploring evolution & inheritance.

🧭 After learning about Darwin’s journey (using Origin of Species by Sabina Radeva), we explored adaptation by matching animals to environments & reasoning how traits help survival.
