Year 6

Year 6, learners can choose how they show what they have understood by using technology to create work, they should be looking to implement the skills they have developed in previous years and look to develop others.

The Ideas shared within this section are based on the progression map example, this does not mean that these should be taken as expectations, but as possibilities.

NB. It will be important when learners are given the choice of how they show their work, they are not allowed to always choose the same medium. Asking them to mix up their choices, so that they continue to develop their skills and application in the Apps.
