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 have been enjoying the poems by Joshua Seigal. Following Joshua’s poem ‘I Don’t Like Poetry’ as a model, the children wrote their own poems. The whole class did well but these particular children made huge effort and I was so proud of them.
Year 6 really enjoyed the wordless picture book Tuesday by David Weisner. Flying frogs on lily pads leave their pond one Tuesday evening and venture into town for a night of adventure. Police investigate the evidence the next morning. The story ends the following Tuesday with a picture of a barn where pigs are flying. The children … Read more
It was lovely to take the children on the trip to Norwich today. We walked along the river and talked about how it was used in the past and how it is used today. We looked at the features of the old houses in the cathedral grounds and imagined what life was like in the … Read more
Year Six have been learning about the song ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams. It is a feelgood pop song with a soul influence, which encourages the listener to clap along and see the ‘happy’ side of life- even when things aren’t always going our way! During this unit of work, we have asked ourselves what makes … Read more
Year 6 practised their throwing and catching skills whilst balancing on an upturned bench. To challenge themselves further they did it one handed.
Year 6 completed their mixed media pictures this week inspired by South African artist Peter Clarke. They look bright and bold hanging up in our classroom.
