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.
Year 6 had fun today in PE playing seated volleyball. It was noticeable that their serving improved as the lesson progressed. They were pretty red faced by the end!

We researched the notorious Dick Turpin and his female counterpart Moll … Read more

It is a jazz composition by Ian Grey in the style of music played and composed by the famous jazz musician, Burt Bacharach. The children have … Read more
Years 4, 5 and 6 had fun dancing to some Just Dance videos and some entered the Dance Off competition. The judges found it tough. They choose 5 for each class and it was a close contest. The runners – up earned 9 housepoints and the winners ate a gingerbread biscuit.Thanks goes to Mrs Pannell … Read more
I was really impressed that three children were so inspired by our work on Remembrance, that they took the initiative to write poems at home, in their own time. Overlook the crumpled look of the paper but top marks to these three who extended their learning.
Year 6 watched the animated film The Piano and used it as a stimulus for writing flashback narratives. They worked really hard at making their writing cohesive, using adverbials of time to link paragraphs and signposting a memory by indicating it is about to happen in the last sentence of the previous paragraph. They wrote … Read more
Year 6 designed their phone socks and are now in the process of making them. They have begun cutting out their shapes and sewing them together.
