EXCITING AND CREATIVE VENTURES FROM YEAR 6 PUPILS

Prep Independent Study Exhibition

An eclectic mix of exciting and creative ventures from Year 6 pupils were on display at the 2025 Perse Prep Independent Research Exhibition.

A record number of 48 youngsters showed off the wide range of projects they had been putting together as part of their homework studies during the Summer term.

With projects based on interests and hobbies, they had a great time presenting their work to other members of the year group wandering around the exhibition.

One pupil with a passion for hockey explored how sticks are made, comparing the pros and cons of different types of materials used in their production in terms of strength, weight and flexibility.

On a similar sporting theme, one Manchester City fan dug deep into football statistics in a bid to explain why 2024-25 ‘was the worst Premier League season’.

Some youngsters investigated the potential of coding, with projects ranging from the creation of a robotic hand to the making of 3D-printed objects.

Visitors were able to try imaginative board games, such as Howzat – a cricket-loving pupil’s design in which players score runs and answer questions as they travel around ‘the outfield’ – and a variation of Monopoly based on capital cities.

In a related geographical vein, some pupils created maps, including a 3D version of Japan made with foam and moss, with the key cities written in kanji – one of the three scripts used in Japanese text.

Hailing from the same country, manga has become an increasingly popular form of animation, with one pupil inspired to create her own eye-catching anime artwork in the form of sketches and a story book.

Two fashion fans joined forces to design outfits imagined for their favourite K-pop group Blackpink to wear on stage, while another pupil created a vibrant visual guide to the history of communication from smoke signals to social media.
