This week, 6TH took part in a Focus week at IntoUniversity. The children worked together in four teams: the tree kangaroos, the alpine ibexes, the slender-tailed meerkats and the snow monkeys! The teams took part in a range of seminars over the week, learning about each animal and how they are adapted to their environment and writing reports on what they have learned.

On Monday, the children started their seminars about Geography, learning about their group animal. In the afternoon, the children wrote reports and started their secret mission. 

On Tuesday, the children continued to work on their secret mission and created some fantastic posters sharing what they had learned. In the afternoon, the children had a visit from two colleagues from Mott Macdonald, a company that work on a range of projects including improving the biodiversity of areas of the country and took part in some fieldwork in Banstead Park.

On Wednesday, the children spent the day learning about going to university, explored the courses they could study when they are older. The children also shared their own future ambitions.

On Friday, the children visited Leeds University and took a tour of the campus, exploring the learning rooms and accommodation. In the afternoon, the children took part in a graduation ceremony with parents.

Mr. Trower and Mrs. Hopkins are so proud of the children’s engagement and teamwork across the week. Well done 6TH!
