Specially developed to promote conversations and laughter around learning (in the past, the present and the future), skills and values.
Workshop Description
Bags of Confidence challenges your Year 6s to work in teams on an independent carousel exploring different areas of the curriculum that they’ll be studying next year. In a fun, active and engaging way, it asks them to apply what they already know, make connections and reflect on what they personally bring to life. And, most importantly of all, it also succeeds in reminding them of the true centre of any school: its pupils.
Outcomes: teamwork, recall of prior knowledge, personal reflection, increased resilience in tackling open questions.
Cross-Curricular Links: maths, science, literacy, history, geography, MFL, art, DT, RE, PE, drama, PSHE.
