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.

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.

Year 6 were amazed by the increase in number of websites since Yahoo first began in 1994. Using search engines and browsers are things they take for granted. They were asked to write instructions on how to search to find out Gandhi’s date of birth. They swapped books with a friend who followed their instructions … Read more
To complete their History this term, on Crime and Punishment, Year 6 presented their learning on a double page spread.
We have been looking at the work of Gustav Klimt in art, exploring how he loved creating patterns in his paintings and using gold leaf. Year 6 copied some of Klimt’s patterns and designed their Christmas cards using his style.
Year 6 looked great in their Christmas Jumpers on Friday. It added to the growing sense of Christmas sizzle and excitement.
