Secondary Offer Day has passed, but the emotional ripples are still felt in Year 6 classrooms today. 🌊
Friday Thought: How are we supporting pupils in this "in-between" phase? Let's prioritise emotional safety over admin.

Great CPD day with our Year 6 colleagues 📚
Here is some feedback we received: Focused on GDS writing, engaging reading, retrieval in maths, and effective SATs preparation. Lots of practical ideas to take straight back into the classroom ✏️✨

Year 6 refreshed their cycling skills with Bikeability this term, practising safe riding, hand signals and road awareness 🚲

A fab morning at a gorgeous school, getting hands-on and curious with:
🍦Changing states of matter in #year4 making ice cream
🧬Extracting DNA and using #year5 filtering and separating knlowdge
🫀Dissecting hearts to find out more about the circulatory system with #year6

We brought our Ancient Civilisations learning together in #Year6.
#Retrieval task on the Shang, Yellow River, bronze, oracle bones, and why dynasties rise and fall. Then a Diamond 9 on what makes a civilisation successful, with paired talk then written justification.

We continued our #Computing work with #Year6 in OctoStudio, using retrieval to revisit events, the level variable, and conditionals.
Then we planned and innovated our maze game by changing sprites, interactions, and the reward or challenge. #PrimaryComputing #TaskDesign
#Year6 #Computing OctoStudio games with collisions, variables and simple conditionals.
#Retrieval revisited sprites and how they touch → state (level variable) → outcome (screen and rules). Next time: bug routine, trigger → change → expected → fix.

Our #History in #Year6 was the Shang Dynasty through oracle bones.
#Retrieval linked to ancient civilisations sequence.
Children matched oracle bone questions, justifying overlaps.
We ended by discussing strengths and weaknesses of oracle bones. #PrimaryHistory #TaskDesign #EduSky

The Road Ahead: ALGS Unveils Year 6 Roadmap and EWC Expansion The dust hasn't even settled on Oblivion’s historic "LCQ-to-Championship" miracle in Sapporo before the industry shifted to the future. January 19, the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) officially revealed its Year 6 roadmap, increasing the total seasonal prize pool to a record-breaking figure and confirming LAN locations across three continents. This strategic expansion arrives as the Esports World Cup (EWC) announced Trackmania as its final title for the 2026 Riyadh line-up, signaling a 2026 priority on high-speed, arcade-style viewership to broaden the demographic. While Team Falcons manages a roster adjustment; calling up academy player NucleonZ for the BLAST Bounty playoffs. The broader narrative is the formal "Industrialization" of the competitive calendar. The Year 6 format will introduce deeper integration with regional "Path to Pro" circuits, ensuring that the lightning-in-a-bottle success of teams like Oblivion becomes a feature, not a fluke, of the 2026 ecosystem. #ALGS #ApexLegends #Year6 #EsportsWorldCup #Trackmania #Sapporo2026 #GamingNews #NexTrend

Y6 shadows after QuBuild. Retrieval: light travels in straight lines (tick and explain).
Diagram annotation for key terms.
Three Heads prediction on distance, then tested it.
Explanations used distance, light spread and shadow sharpness.
Next: colour. #PrimaryScience #Year6 #EduSky #Retrieval
Great to welcome @wizardtheatre.bsky.social into school today for their brilliant ‘Choices’ workshop with Year 6 🎭
A powerful and engaging session exploring decision-making, peer influence and staying safe. 👏

Sumerian innovations. #Retrieval revisited why rivers mattered.
Then shifted to “What did this enable?” irrigation → surplus etc.
Finished with map reasoning on trade with Egypt/Indus & growing power.
#Year6 #PrimaryHistory #TaskDesign
Started our new #Year6 #Science unit on light by going backwards before forwards.
#Retrieval revisited transparent, translucent, opaque, then a simple pinhole setup made straight line travel visible.
We finished by applying this to real world examples.
#PrimaryScience #TaskDesign
Computing in #Year6 today:
#retrieval on mis/dis/malinformation, then a quick critique of a webpage for readability and user experience. We bridged back to #Year5 variables, then an unplugged If…Then…Else… treasure hunt using conditionals.
#PrimaryComputing #DigitalCitizenship #ComputerScience
Year 6 history, spring, lesson one:
spaced #retrieval on ancient civilisations, then a zoom out question on what makes a civilisation successful.
We finished by exploring why rivers keep showing up & touched on how this supported their success.
Start as you mean to go on.
#PrimaryHistory #Year6
This week will be assessment week in Year 6. This means
doing a full set of SATs past papers, hopefully the children in my reading intervention have improved since the September benchmark tests. #Year6
If you’re thinking it’s a bit early, 1) I’m pleased you don’t have to be thinking about SATs yet! But 2) you could still sign up for the recording to watch when you do want to start thinking about it! :)

Our #Year6 ambassadors greeted @steplab.bsky.social educators, providing a warm welcome and modelling our student culture.
Wet play at school today I suspect. Just what I need on a Friday. #Year6
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.

We love seeing our #Year6 community coming together. These snapshots from 'Year 6 English & Mathematics Day' capture the energy beautifully! @nicolegurvidi.bsky.social
Fantastic hands-on learning last week with engaging, purposeful science workshops: exploring the Digestive System in #Year4 and the Heart in #Year6
