The Great Exhibition

n The Year 6 boys had a fabulous finale to Lent Term with their Great Exhibition. This was a culmination of their Humanities work throughout Lent Term, and focussed on all of the boys choosing a topic about which they were passionate, related to the UN Goals for Sustainable Development. A very special part of the Year 6 Projects is the ‘Action’ element, where the boys take action to raise awareness about their issues. Actions this year ranged from writing to MPs, volunteering at a food bank, taking part in a litter pick, writing to Buckingham Palace and more! We hope the boys found completing their Actions empowering. In terms of the presentations themselves, the Year 6 boys presented to the rest of the pupils in the school, and held the exciting ‘Great Exhibition’ in the evening, where they presented to parents and family. It was a wonderful opportunity for the boys to share their research and learning this term, and it was super to see them speaking so confidently and engagingly. We had a buzzing Junior School, full of parents, friends and visitors, and boys engaging with their learning. We were so pleased to see how proud the Year 6 boys were of their Projects, and how eager they were to share what they have done. The Year 6 Great Exhibition is a significant milestone in the boys’ learning at DCJS, and they should all feel very proud of themselves.
