Following the parent workshop, Year 5 and Year 6 pupils took part in two separate assemblies focused on their future journeys and the role of science in everyday life.

In the Year 5 assembly, pupils thought about their future learning journey, including the different pathways available after primary school, such as secondary school, college, university and apprenticeships. They were encouraged to think about their aspirations, recognise the importance of skills such as curiosity, teamwork and resilience, and understand how science links to a wide range of exciting careers.

In the Year 6 assembly, pupils focused on how science supports learning, particularly how the brain works and the importance of keeping it healthy. They learnt about the role of nutrition, hydration and sleep in helping them to focus, remember and succeed. The session also highlighted key skills such as concentration, problem-solving and resilience, and how these are important for both their SATs and their future pathways.

Both assemblies encouraged pupils to stay curious, believe in themselves and recognise that their future is full of possibilities.
