Year 6
Welcome to our Year 6 class page!
Class Teacher - Miss Green Monday and Mrs Phillips Tuesday-Friday
Teaching Assistant - Mrs Fitzmaurice
Can you believe your children have reached their final year of primary school! There is much to look forward to, not least the RobinWood residential, in Wrexham, in March.
In Year 6, all children become buddies to our Year 1 children, which is such a privilege. The children look out for the younger ones and help them in the dinner hall, on the playground and with their reading.
Of course, being Year 6 and the oldest in the school, the children have the opportunity to put themselves forward for a variety of different roles of responsibility such as Head Boy and Head Girl and Deputy Head Boy and brand new for this year, we have an Assistant Head Boy and Girl.
The children are working towards their SATS, which, in 2026 start on Monday 11th May to the 14th May.
There will be opportunity for your child to attend Fun SATS club after school and during the Easter holidays.
And...what the children look forward to most about being in Year 6, is the end of year production!
Keep checking in to catch up with what the children are doing throughout the year as we will be updating our page regularly.

We're so proud of our Published Pieces in #English.
Reading
We enjoy reading for pleasure in our wonderful school library! #WeLoveReading
In Maths, we are just about to start our Four operations topic after impressing Mrs phillips with our knowledge of place value! #Maths
In our Art topic, this half term, we will be looking at sculptures. We have researched and explored our artist, Alexander Calder, and expressed our thoughts and feelings about his wonderful sculptures. We have started to design our own sculptures ready to make over the next few weeks of the Autumn 1 term. #Art
In PE, we are learning the skills involved in playing hockey and basketball - we started by practicing to pass and catch accurately and we have been learning to doge and intercept. #PE
In our Come and See RE lessons, we have been thinking about God's unconditional love. We have shown an understanding of how religious belief in God's love shapes our lives and we wrote a charter for Christians to live by.
We have also written our own set of Be-Attitudes based on the Beatitudes from Matthew 5: 3-10. In our Be-Attitudes we have chosen attitudes reflecting unconditional love and given reasons why we would make others feel blessed and loved too. #ComeAndSee
What a lovely start to our Year 6 journey...
We started the year by celebrating what makes each of us unique! We know that communities can consist of a diverse range of people from different countries and backgrounds, and that everyone deserves to feel welcome and safe in our community. We thought about how communities can help each other in difficult times, and how our amazing qualities can aid this. #ProtectedCharacteristics #PSHE
Protected Characteristics
We have been learning about Nelson Mandela and we have written a poem with the help of our wonderful Mr Delaney, which is to be submitted for a writing competition based on Black History Month. We will add some videos of the children reading their poems very soon!
We wrote poems demonstrating what diversity means to us. #PSHE #ProtectedCharacteristics
PAThS
As part of our daily practice, we celebrate all the wonderful things about each other with our PAThS Pupil of the Day!
We give our POTD compliments - this could be something they're good at, something we like about their appearance or something about their character.
Our POTD is encouraged to give their self a compliment and this is taken home for a compliment to be given at home too. #PAThS #PSHE
PSHE -First Aid
We have been learning what is meant by first aid and how to respond and react in an emergency situation. We've been learning basic life support, how to contact the emergency services and what to say to them. We have been learning about asthma, bleeding & allergies, choking & head injuries, bites & stings and burns & scalds. #FirstAid #KeepingSafe #PSHE
NSPCC - Speak out! Stay safe!
Year 6 have been learning about Speak out! Stay safe! with the NSPCC. We have learnt about children's rights and we know that a safe, trusted adult will always listen to us if we feel upset or worried. #SpeakOutStaySafe #PSHE #NSPCC
We can't wait to help our buddies throughout this school year!
Prayer and Liturgy with our Year 1 Buddies
We are enjoying planning the Celebration of the Word every Monday in class. The children are all taking turns to set the focus table and choose the way we Gather, the scripture we Listen to and how we will Respond and Send the Word forward.
We are confident in reciting the alphabet in Spanish! #MFL #Spanish
Retreat Day
Humanities
We are learning about the Victorians this half-term.
Science
In Science, we enjoyed researching our significant scientist (Charles Darwin) and completing Darwin's Finches activity, where we had to pick up different sized seed with different sized beaks to prove Darwin's theory of 'survival of the fittest'. #Science
