Evolution Workshop Year 6

Today we took part in a Science online workshop with the Natural History Museum where we learnt to:

  • To explain what evolution is: we looked at how fossil evidence from the past can show changes in life on Earth over millions of years.
  • To learn about why evolution happens: we used the example of how horses have evolved and discussed differences between fossils. 
  • To explore how evolution happens: we learnt about natural selection and looked at a real example of evolution happening now on the island to a population of lizards.

This was a fantastic experience, following our visit to the Natural History Museum yesterday, and it was a wonderful opportunity for the children to apply their knowledge from their learning this half term.

Agora Ambition Day in Class 6O

Today as part of Agora Ambition Day we designed and began to make our own cross stitch bookmarks. We had to think carefully about blocking colours to create shapes as well as put our sewing skills to the test. The activity really helped us to work on our perseverance and resilience as well as learning a new skill of how to create cross stitches. We will update you with our finished products soon!

This week it was the turn of the children making the main course to cook and the hero ingredient was salmon.

Miss O’Shea was very impressed with the children’s preparation, cutting and presentation skills. Well done! Next week… desserts!

The children improved their teamwork, cutting, chopping and measuring skills as well as learning how to use the oven and hob. They thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, especially their delicious starters which they couldn’t wait to try!
