YEAR 6

Maths – Human Decimal Number Line
Year 6 took their maths learning outdoors to develop their understanding of decimals. Working in pairs, the children placed decimal cards accurately on a large human number line and explained their reasoning.
Science – Outdoor Classification Challenge
Year 6 took their science learning outdoors as part of their Living Things and Their Habitats topic. The children observed different plants and living things in the school grounds, identifying and recording their observable characteristics. Working collaboratively, they sorted organisms using carefully chosen criteria and created branching classification keys using yes/no questions. They then tested their keys and refined any questions that were unclear.
