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.

The sun shone brightly on our last morning’s activities. The instructors complimented the children on their politeness and good behaviour and said that they really enjoyed our children’s company. This made us very proud of them. It was a joy and a privilege taking them away for a week and witnessing some children overcoming homesickness … Read more
Film and pop corn. Fabulous for tired children and to end our week.
The children have had a fun day and they challenged themselves in archery, crate stacking, raft building and vertical challenge. Some children raced each other to do the vertical challenge and they practised breaking their personal best. The most we had in the crate stacking was sixteen crates. The raft building really stretched their skills in … Read more
This evening we had a campfire and drank Hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows. The children then had a talent contest and some children surprised us with how confident and funny they were. Another jam-packed fun day!
The sun shone brilliantly today! The activities for today were: Camp Cooking where the children made nettle, mint and hawthorn tea and made their own bread and butter over a fire.
