Launch Day Spring 1:  World War 2

The children were launched into their new history topic by exploring primary and secondary artefacts from World War 2. They focused on what they know already and what they would like to find out. Next, the children create quizzes about the key events and live timelines with significant dates. They incorporated map work as well by exploring all the countries that were affected by World War 2. After that, the children had the opportunity to be creative and produced a podcast about one of the key events from World War 2.

Launch Day Autumn 2:  Amazing Animals

The children spent the start of the day reminding themselves of the key systems of the body. They explored the structure of the skeletal system in our science lab and learnt some interesting facts about the digestive system. 

Year 6 then used resources from home to create anatomically correct models of human organs. They researched key facts and used these to create posters and poetry about the heart and the lungs. Finally, the children conducted their own investigation based around animals and their organs.
