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 thoroughly enjoyed the fantasy book The Nowhere Emporium by Ross MacKenzie. Plot twists, a magical world, time travel, betrayal and intrigue – year 6 were hooked! In fact a couple of children have begun to read the sequel. Fantastic outcome.
Year 6 have been looking at the history of chairs and how their style has changed over the centuries. We looked at the work of British Nigerian designer Yinki Ilori and how his heritage informs his design both in terms of colour and pattern choice. He talks of chairs having a narrative – telling a … Read more
Charlie from Fakenham Cricket Club came to teach cricket skills today. It was a glorious afternoon and we had a number of good, strong hits and a few catches too. Thanks to Charlie for giving the children a taste of cricket.
Year 6 used Google maps to help them draw a sketch map of their local area. They learned that they needed a frame, a title, directions and a key.
