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.

Their work was thoughtful and … Read more
In Art this week Y6 experimented with charcoal. They investigated using different pressure on the page, different ways of holding the charcoal, making different marks and using an eraser to remove the dark grey. They enjoyed experimenting and got thoroughly messy in the process.
Year 6 have applied their knowledge of circuits gained in Science to design and make an electronic game. There were a few challenges along the way but with cooperation and perseverance hurdles were overcome and much learning took place.
The Year 6 children had their 2nd Welly Day this week and were given a really beautiful day for it. Since we have had a new path cut around the pond we were able to investigate this habitat and the children spotted a number of exciting creatures including water boatmen, a newtlet and a toad! … Read more
