Year 6 10.10.25

Global Issues Club

Every Monday lunchtime, a group of passionate pupils comes together to delve into pressing global issues. They’ve identified the topics they believe matter most to young people today, and through thoughtful research and lively discussion, they’re preparing to share their insights with the rest of the school. Among the subjects sparking the most interest are the promises and perils of artificial intelligence, and the urgent plight of endangered species.

But these young changemakers aren’t stopping at information—they’re determined to inspire action. Their next challenge? Finding imaginative and impactful ways to connect with their audience, provoke thought, and encourage their peers to make a difference. Katie Seecharan

Year 6 have been thinking about how they could measure the weather without technology on the South Lawn.  They have come up with some great ideas – using leaves and hair for wind direction and melting ice cubes for temperature.  There were some interesting ideas about finding out compass directions, including using a pencil to create shadows, using church windows to identify east and west, and looking at where moss grows. There was even some physics involved to measure wind speed! Katie Seecharan
