This week, Year 6 have been taking on our new hexagon tasks to help consolidate everything we’ve learned in our History and Science units. As we come to the end of our work on World War II and the circulatory system, the hexagon activity has been a brilliant way for pupils to show what they know — and to make meaningful connections between key ideas.
Each group was given a set of hexagons, each one labelled with an important word, event, person, or scientific term. Pupils had to choose which hexagons to link together and then explain the reasoning behind their choices. This meant thinking carefully, using accurate subject knowledge, and justifying how ideas connect — whether it was linking evacuation to the Blitz, or showing how arteries, veins, and the heart work together to transport blood around the body. I have been incredibly impressed by the thoughtful discussions, clear explanations, and confident links pupils made.
