YEAR GROUPS

Year 6

Welcome to our Year 6 page. My name is Mr Bruce and I am the class teacher.

I am supported in class by Mrs Chaudhari.

As we are the eldest in the school we know we are role models and try to lead by example. We try our best in every lesson and know that making mistakes is an important part of learning. Our library day is on Monday and we can choose books to take home with us. We love reading and being read to! Some of the books we have read in class include: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Krindlekrax, Coraline, King Kong, The Errand and many more!

Year 6 Long Term Plan

All Y6 children have access to online learning from home. They will have a list of websites sent home with login information. Please ask if you need a copy. 

They can use these websites at home every day to help with their learning. Even a small amount of practice at home will really help them in school.

PE is on Tuesday. We provide a PE kit for every child but s/he will need pumps or trainers.

Swimming is on Wednesday.  Every child will need to have a swimming costume, a towel and a swimming cap. Children can bring googles if they wish but do not have to.

Please ensure your child arrives at school at 8.45 am every day in full school uniform and black shoes. Long hair must be tied back and plaited, please.

If you have any questions about Year 6, please make an appointment at the office to see Mr Bruce.

Please have a look below to see how much we enjoyed being in Year 5 and now we are looking forward to Year 6!

Art

We created clay sculptures based on the work of Barbara Hepworth.

Religious Education

We learned how to locate specific scripture in the Bible. We then found the story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand and how it is retold in different Gospels.

Science

We learned what affect increasing or decreasing the number of batteries in a circuit has. We then used this knowledge to design circuits for a specific purpose: a loud burglar alarm; a dim torch for bedtime reading; a motor and switch for a children’s toy.

Attendance

We won a fabulous prize for having the best attendance during the half-term. We were delighted to win a huge stocking full of treats, just in time for Christmas!

School Library

We have been enjoying our school library. It is somewhere to relax, share a book with friends and pick something we will enjoy reading back in class or at home.

  

Judaism

As part of Judaism week we had a special visitor tell us how Passover is celebrated. Eric told us about the story of Moses and the Seder plate. He even brought in matzah bread and grape juice for us to try!
  

After reading ‘Henry’s Freedom Box’ we wrote diary entries based on different characters in the book. As it was set a long time ago, we then scrunched up our writing and dipped it in tea to make it look ancient!

  

NSPCC came in to talk to Years 5 and 6 about how to ‘Speak Out and Stay Safe’. Children learned about how to stay safe both online and outside of school. We even had a visit from Buddy the speech bubble!
