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.

When the storms came the house on the rock stayed firm but the one on the sand collapsed. Year 6 worked on the dioramas and … Read more
After our delicious Christmas meal the whole school went on to the field to enjoy the ice. Mrs Cairns bought an iPad out so that the children could take pictures of the beautiful sights. The children took some wonderful pictures.
This term Year 6 have been learning about the gruesome topic of crime and punishment through the centuries. Trial by ordeal, innocent til proven guilty, smuggling, poaching, highwaymen, sanctuary, treason, heresy…..just a few of the many new words or concepts that we have discussed. The children presented their learning as a double page spread.
