Two girls went on a town tour in the evening. They took photos of different landmarks and later turned them into a video. The video was shared with our eTwinning partners.
It was a nice way to combine teamwork, creativity, and exploring our town.
Year 6 pupils read the book One Plastic Bag by Miranda Paul together and explored its important message about plastic waste.
After reading, they talked about the story and completed the post-survey, where they answered comprehension questions and shared their own ideas.
Inspired by the book, they wrote a story from the point of view of a plastic bag.
They illustrated their story using Storyboard That, combining words and pictures to bring their ideas to life in a shared e‑book.
This lively song is perfect for practising numbers and plurals, and my youngest pupils always love it.
This time, they even added their own clip‑clop tongue sounds to imitate a horse’s gallop, which made the song extra fun.

Since small, long‑eared owls are the symbol of our town, I thought it would be fun to turn them into bookmarks. This generation of Class 2 enjoys reading, so the activity was a natural fit. With the help of several mums, pupils enjoyed a creative workshop and proudly designed their own owl‑themed bookmarks.
Traditionally, Class 6 pupils took part in the World of Long‑Eared Owls quiz. This year, however, I encouraged the girls to prepare a presentation for their classmates. The quiz that followed was a success.
First, they watched a short video about Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats and discussed the idea and benefits of looking at problems from different perspectives.
Then they enjoyed another video showing how to fold paper hats using the origami technique. Using six different colours, pupils made their own hats. Some worked on their own, while others preferred to make hats in pairs. We decided to use these colourful hats to form teams in future workshops.
The pupils found the activity fun and creative, and it gave them a chance to combine teamwork with imagination.
Afterwards, pupils brainstormed on “skills for life” using AnswerGarden. Some of the words they chose were: be creative, solve problems, and work in teams. These ideas will guide us in the next stages of the project and show how pupils understand the importance of life skills in their everyday learning.
We’ve just started exploring the rooms of a house, and to help my youngest pupils remember them, I guided them in making paper houses and invited them to fill each room with drawings of typical things they might find there.
This activity was a a big hit with one of my previous Class 1 groups, so I decided to bring it back for this generation as well—and they enjoyed it just as much!
Year 6 pupils read The Lorax by Dr Seuss together, discussed its themes, and checked their understanding by answering quiz questions.
Afterwards, they created a book report in Canva, added their own comprehension questions, and presented the story to their peers. To make their work more vivid, they illustrated it with AI‑generated images.
They also shared their favourite parts in polls.
Finally, they agreed on a wish for the planet and added it to the project's collaborative Wishing Tree.
