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 let Year 1 and 2 children try out the electronic toys they had made in Design Technology. Alfie in Year 2 said “It’s good. I liked the noise when it went off.” Sonny in Year 2 said “ I loved it, it was so interesting.”
It was lovely to see so many Year 6 parents today at our Leavers Assembly. The children read out their memories and poems really well in spite of the heatwave. Many thanks to those parents/ grandparents who provided cakes for our refreshment.
Year 6 wrote poetry expressing their questions and mixed emotions about transitioning to High School. Some used metaphor, others rhythm and rhyme. I was very proud of them.
This afternoon Year 6 designed and made sets for a dramatic sentence. They did really well considering how hot it was! Well done Year 6.
Year Six have been working on data handling, using smarties, this week. They have had to collect specific data, present their work carefully and answer questions about the data they have collected (for example, finding the mean, median, mode and range). They have been challenged further by having to compare their data with data from … Read more

Some good discussion was had about his father’s obsession clouding his judgement and destroying his relationship with his family. The film enabled Year 6 to write the … Read more
The weather was kind to us at Sports Day last Wednesday: not too hot but fine and dry. Year 6 thundered past in the races and worked cooperatively in their House teams for the round robin activities. In the morning, the Play Leaders were particularly helpful with Key Stage 1, encouraging the youngest children and … Read more
Following on from the sketch map skills that we learned about last lesson, the Year Six class have now mastered the geographical art of ‘field sketches’. These are really useful when you are out and about collecting geographical information. You just need to draw the physical environment, so you don’t need to add people or … Read more
Over the course of the week we have been building colourful window art. We are so pleased with the results. We could not believe that our mustard and cress seeds began to shoot after only one day!Of course we had to celebrate our last day together with a great film and …….Ice cream!
