Upper Key Stage Two Express 2025-2026
Family involvement is an important part of the UKS2 experience. Our Express Events give children the opportunity to share their learning with parents and carers through fun, interactive activities such as debates, cooking sessions, and performances. These events allow pupils to take the lead, demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and celebrate their achievements with the people who support them most.
Autumn 1: Moving Mechanisms
UKS2 had an exciting afternoon welcoming parents into school for their Pneumatic Prototype Express Event! As part of their project on moving mechanisms, the children used their learning to design and create working prototypes using junk modelling, plastic syringes, tubing, and balloons.
Families joined in the hands-on fun, collaborating with their children to explore how pneumatics can make models move. The event was full of problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork, as pupils tested and refined their designs while explaining their ideas to their parents.
