Welcome to our Year 6 Class Page :)
Year 6 is one of the most important years of your primary school journey. It is a year in which you will have greater responsibility around the school, a year full of memorable events and a year where you will prepare for life's next big steps. In the light of Christ, together in Year 6 we will continue to grow, learn and celebrate our learning. 

In Year 6 we have:

Class Teachers - Miss Caulfield, Miss Varlet & Miss Nicholson

Tuesday 4th April - Maths Revision

We took our Maths learning outside today in the glorious sunshine. We were put into groups and had to solve some open-ended word problems, finding all the possible answers. Once we finished, we swapped with another group and checked their answers.

Monday 27th March - Reconciliation Service 

Today, Year 6 had their Reconciliation Service in Church which was led by Father Polland. The children read beautifully and reminded us of the real reasons of Advent. We had time to reflect on our own lives and the mistakes we might of made. 

Thursday 23rd March - God and The Big Bang

Thursday 2nd March - World Book Day Writing

 During World Book Day, we focused on the Brother's Grimm book which is full of the original fairytales - a little bit different from the traditional tales we know! After reading the Brother's Grimm version of Cinderella, we spoke about how the original fairytales differ and explored the style of writing used. We at how the orginal fairytales have evolved over time including looking at The Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl. The children then went onto write their own alternative ending to Goldilocks & The Three Bears using the Brother's Grimm style of writing as inspiration. At the end of the day, we created a suspenseful atmosphere and read our alternative endings to each other. 

Thursday 2nd March - World Book Day 2023

Today we celebrated World Book Day. The children came to school dressed as their favourite book character and put lots of effort into creating these. Take a look below at our fantastic outfits:

Three of our Year 6 children that stood out during the workshop we awarded a Leeds United scarf - how cool!

Friday 20th January - RE Lesson in Church

As part of our RE topic, Exploring the Mass, we need to be able to understand the important symbols and signs in Mass. On Friday, we went into Church where Father Polland explained what each step in Mass signifies and what objects are important in Mass.  This led us to think about a very important question: What part of Mass do you think is the most important and why? The children worked together to create PowerPoints explaining which part of Mass they thought was the most important and explained why they thought this. 

Thursday 19th January - Jesus the Bread of Life

Today in RE, we explored the meaning of Jesus being the Bread of Life. After looking at scripture from the Bible, we analysed what Jesus meant when he said:

I am the Bread of Life,

He who comes to me will never be hungry;

He who believes in me will never thirst.

John 6:35

After spending time discussing what Jesus meant by this, we got our creative side on and made our own videos explaining this. We LOVE creative RE and expressing our knowledge using drama.

Tuesday 16th January - Science - Trip to Magna

Thursday 12th January - Geography - Exploring where The Amazon Rainforest is located!

In Geography we have started exploring our new topic - The Amazon Rainforest. We used atlases and maps to look at which continent the Amazon rainforest is located in and which countries it runs through. We learnt that The Amazon lies in 8 different countries; however, the majority of it is situated in Brazil taking up 40% of the country's land. From our findings, we used playdough to create our own maps of South America, highlighting where the rainforest and Amazon river lay.
