Year 5 Discovery Day Challenges

Welcome to the Year 5 Discovery Day at King’s!

We have set you six exciting challenges from across the school to give you a taste of what we get up to in our lessons. Each challenge will be introduced by one of our teachers, and you’ll find instructions and some of the equipment you need in your pack. 

Before you start, our Headmaster has a few words to say to you, and then you can get to know him better in his interview with some of our current pupils. 

 

Your guide

  • You can complete the challenges in any order

  • Each time you complete an activity, you’ll come back to this page and choose your next challenge! 

  • At the end of each challenge, you’ll be asked to submit an example of your work – it could be a photo or maybe even a video of you taking part. You can simply add your name to skip this step and move to the next challenge 

  • Don’t forget to have a look at the virtual tour of the school which lets you walk the corridors, explore some of our classrooms and meet more of our teachers

  • If you or your parents have any questions about life at King’s, the admissions process or anything else, we’ll be here until 12.30pm on Saturday. Just open the chat function at the bottom of the page you are on and ask away

  • Good luck – and have fun!
