Thank you for all your support for the Year 6 Signature Work events last week. They have all done an amazing job in their various presentations and events, and between them raised over £1,000. This is a phenomenal achievement for a single day of events, and demonstrates how the Blanchelande family has pulled together to make a real difference in the world.
As well as learning and practising a wide range of skills (both inquiry and subject specific), through their Signature Work inquiry Year 6 make practical connections linking their different subjects to each other, to their lives and to their community and the wider world. They are empowered to make a difference and to feel the joy that comes with helping others, and we hope that they will carry this with them for the rest of their lives.
Inquiry is an important aspect of a Blanchelande education, and Signature Work inquiries occur in Years 1, 2, 6, 9 and 12 alongside a range of smaller, subject specific inquiries in other year groups. We believe that the stance of wonder and puzzlement that underpins all true inquiry enables students to develop a deeper connection with their learning, and to become engaged and empowered inquirers who are not only more motivated to learn within their subjects, but are also being equipped to participate responsibly in their communities. Inquiry therefore helps us to fulfill our school mission to grow and develop as “a family always faithful to the example of Our Lord Jesus Christ, learning to become all that God wants us to be”.
