Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
Welcome to Mr Watson’s Year 6 class. We have a spacious classroom which we help to keep organised and we can break out into smaller groups whenever we need to. This is a year of opportunities and greater responsibility as you act as role models for the younger children in the school. We enjoy being play leaders on the playground at lunch times and getting to set up the hall for assemblies and special occasions. We have a wonderful calm corner, filled with bookcases full of beautiful and engaging stories written for all children and their varying interests.
For the Year 6s this is their last year at All Saints Stibbard and we are looking forward to what the future brings. Although there are some nerves about SATs, we understand that we just need to persevere and try our hardest.

We’ve certainly had an action-packed day today! Rock climbing, abseiling and caving were our main activities. Photo opportunities were limited today but we’ve taken a few. Many children faced their fears and gave things a go, which is fantastic. They were all so pleased with themselves and what they achieved today. From the tight squeezes … Read more
We have designed and painted some really stunning glass art today. These beauties will form part of a larger craft project that we will be completing later on in the week.
After an uneventful journey, stopping at Sherwood visitor centre on the way, the children have settled into their rooms and are awaiting their tea. All seem happy. The shrieks of wonder at seeing the hills was wonderful – you can tell they come from Norfolk! Walking along the River Derwent after tea to enjoy the … Read more
Oh my word, what a busy day we’ve had! Cooking, making boxes and being adventurer’s, the children have been great!
Y6 watched the short animated film ‘Ian’, based on a true story of a boy with cerebral palsy having difficulties accessing the park. The film explores how the boy feels broken when he is laughed at, stared at and whispered about. The film maker powerfully shows this as the boy’s body disintegrating and being forced … Read more
