We continued our Year 6 #Science work on evolution using On the Origin of Species by Sabina Radeva.
Inspired by @marymyatt.bsky.social ’s work on high quality texts, I wanted the book to serve the sequence, not sit as a hook.

In #Year6, we used multi-link cubes to map early civilisations, helping children see overlaps and challenge misconceptions about chronology.
It sparked great discussions on concurrence, innovation spread, & historical thinking. A few tweaks needed, but a valuable task! #PrimaryHistory #TaskDesign

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.

📚 In Year 6 Science, we’ve been exploring evolution & inheritance.
🧭 After learning about Darwin’s journey (using Origin of Species by Sabina Radeva), we explored adaptation by matching animals to environments & reasoning how traits help survival.

This week in #Science, it was all about inheritance 🧬
We linked back to evolution with a flipped retrieval, children summarised a paragraph to show what they remembered.
Then a hypothesis, a variation model (traits via coloured counters), & a decision: stick or twist?

Then shifted to “What did this enable?” irrigation → surplus etc.
Finished with map reasoning on trade with Egypt/Indus & growing power.
