Year 6
Welcome to our Year 6 class page!

Teaching Assistant - Mrs Fitzmaurice
Welcome to the Year 6 class page!
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 February.
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 Girl and Class Prefect and Sports Captain roles.
The children are working towards their SATS, which, in 2025, start on the 12th May and all the homework tasks set will be to consolidate learning in the classroom.
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.

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
In our Art topic, this half term, we will be looking at sculptures. We have researched and explored our artist, Lubaina Himid, and expressed our thoughts and feelings about her art. We have used the space ad grid method and started to create our own flat yet sculptural artwork. #Art
In Maths, we are enjoying our Place Value topic. #Maths
In PE, we are learning the skills involved in playing tag rugby - we started by practising to pass and catch accurately and we have been learning to doge and intercept. #PE
We're so proud of our Published Pieces in #English. We wrote a Diary entry from the perspective of Charles Darwin.
As our Go forth, in Prayer and Liturgy, we thought about what it means to be a pupil in Holy Spirit - we created posters to celebrate all the wonderful reasons to be a Holy Spirit pupil. #PrayerAndLiturgy
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
Meeting our Year 1 Buddies - we can't wait to help our buddies throughout this school year!
Aspirations - we can be whatever we want to be! #PSHE #CareersAndAspirations
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
We welcomed 'Hands' to Year 6 to teach us British Sign Language. We understand that deaf people rely on what they see and feel to communicate as well as BSL. In addition to learning BSL, we are learning a song in BSL to perform to the whole school! #PSHE #Protected Characteristics #BSL
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. #FirstAid #KeepingSafe #PSHE
We are confident in reciting the alphabet in Spanish! #MFL #Spanish
We've been interviewing our friends in #Spanish too! Scan the QR code to hear us... #MFL
We have had a Spanish taster session with one of our feeder schools, St Cuthberts, which was fantastic. We really enjoyed showcasing our already embedded learning! #Spanish #MFL #CommunityLinks
We shared the Little People. Big Dreams Treasury book, focusing on Frida Kahlo, as part of our Protected Characteristics learning. We explored diversity and how best to promote it. 2 Romans 15:7 tealls us, 'Accept one another, just as Christ accepted you.' #ProtectedCharacteristics #PSHE
We wrote poems demonstrating what diversity means to us. #PSHE #ProtectedCharacteristics
We really enjoyed our Retreat Day to Lowe House. The theme was 'Caring for others'. As the Bible tells us, 'Now that I, Your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet' John 13:14.
