Who likes magic? Who can thinks we can defy gravity? In Austen class we saw an experiment that got an egg into a conical flask upside-down! We learned that nature likes to equalise air pressure. https://t.co/Kc9DROj8t2

How do you strengthen and join paper? As part of our DT learning in Austen class, we have been experimenting with how to make paper structures more stable. We have managed to make paper stronger using layering, twisting, rolling and folding. https://t.co/tXAgPSMDaK

Shakespeare Year 6 Class

Welcome to Shakespeare class, Year 6 class at Harpenden Academy. We have an exciting and challenging year ahead, with the aim of having the children confident, ready and raring to go to secondary school in a year's time as well as ensuring SATs are as fruitful as possible. It will be a year of significant academic, emotional and social growth and we are really looking forward to embarking on this journey with the children.

Developing the children's growth mindsets and resilience will be a key focus for the year and as these skills grow, the children will undoubtably flourish even further and be even better prepared for their transition next September.

Mornings will be filled with engaging Maths and English learning, linked to our topic wherever possible and meaningful. Afternoons will be spent on our creative curriculum, again linking our learning to our topic.

We look forward to celebrating the children's successes and best mistakes over the coming year and having lots of fun along the way!

The Year 6 Team
