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.
This term we have been learning all about rivers in Geography. The children have learned many new words and presented their learning as a double page spread. I have been impressed with how much they have learned. Well done Year 6!
When it is snowing outside, the hall contains a Christmas tree and the end of term beckons, why not play crab football with balloons. Lots of laughs and some great strategies for scoring. Well done Year 6!
This half term in RE the children used their knowledge of evolution theory and natural selection gained in science last half term and applied it to consider the question – science and creation: complementary or conflicting?

The teaching is engaging, visual and hands-on. “It means children … Read more
Year 6 have been exploring Scrooge as a character alongside crime in the Victorian era motivated by desperate poverty. We have discussed the pickpocketing that occurred and linked it with Fagin’s gang in Dickens’ Oliver Twist. The children have written letters to Scrooge encouraging him to change his ways and generously donate money to charity. … Read more
Year 6 completed their phone socks this afternoon and evaluated what they had made. A number commented on how proud they felt with their products despite the challenges they faced. Some found they kept on losing the needle and others found sewing neat, regular stitches was a challenge. Well done Year 6!
We may have had a soggy start to our Sunday morning, but it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits. A big thank you to all of the parents, children and the FACT team who turned up to help us to show some love to our amazing school pond. Over the last few years the pond had … Read more
Year 6 wrote some amazing poems for our Remembrance Service. All different and using poetic devices such as rhyming and rhythm and metaphor. I am really impressed.
Year 6 served the school so well today in leading our Remembrance Service. They wrote their own poems and prayers which they read out confidently in church. Sophie and Emily spoke the names of the those servicemen from Stibbard who died in the two World Wars. It was lovely to have a number of parents … Read more
