Year 6 Independent Learning Challenge

Year 6 pupils will be starting their Independent Learning Challenge this week.

This challenge is an opportunity foreach pupil to undertake some research and perhaps practical tasks based on a subject/idea/topic that they are interested in.

Each pupil has to choose a topic or subject that inspires them. They then have to decide what they want to find out about or do. Each pupil is encouraged to include some research as well as a practical element. For example if you are interested in learning more about dog training, your challenge could then consist of some research into dog behaviour, your dog training lessons and then a record of how your training actually went. The most important part of the challenge is deciding what you want to do!

Our first session is all about thinking! Thinking about the currciulum, what you have to study at school and the things that you want to learn about.
