Year 6 Ingenuity In Action

This term the Year 6 students learnt about electrical insulators and conductors. As part of their Design and Technology project they needed to design a board game that incorporated an electrical circuit.

Students completed and submitted a planning page that showcased a design sketch, a list of the various materials they needed to build their game and an explanation of how their game would work. Once their idea was approved, the Year 6’s started creating their board games in class. It was wonderful to see the students apply their creativity and critical thinking skills while creating their board games.

Students presented their board games in front of the class. They needed to explain the following in their presentation:

• How they created their board games.
• What materials they used.
• Who their target audience was.
• Lastly they had to demonstrate how their game worked.

On Friday, 4 December, the Year 6’s displayed their board games to the rest of Key Stage 2. They demonstrated how their board games worked and gave the other classes an opportunity to play their game.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work, ingenuity and effort the Year 6s put into their designs.
