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.

They talked about their favourite genres, that they borrow books from the public library or they buy books online and how they read to escape into different worlds and to ‘grow their mind’. Having lwritten their persuasive speeches last week, … Read more
As the culmination of our work on plastic pollution last half term, Year 6 wrote persuasive speeches last week to Ms McConnell encouraging her to lead the school into becoming single-use plastic free. To inform their speeches, we have looked at the importance of reducing our use of single-use plastic, recycling and reusing plastic. In … Read more
Year 6 wrote poetry about our polluted planet. These children did really well with their rhyming, metaphor, word choice and persuasive tone. Well done!
On Thursday last week John came in to teach playground games with the school. Year 6 did skipping games. We managed four children skipping at once using the long rope. His other game was a bounce and catch game using hoops which the children enjoyed.
