Welcome to Year 6

This is the final year before moving onto secondary school.  A chance to make the most of your learning and show what you have achieved.  Year 6 is the year all children think of as their SATs year.  They are role models for the school!  Yes, Year 6 is important, hard work, challenging!  That aside – what else does year 6 offer?

The year starts with a topic which looks at World War II.  Later children learn about the legacy of Ancient Greece and also about the Mayan Civilisation. They will enjoy finding out about natural disasters, migration and exploring land uses.

There are opportunities to take on extra responsibilities; being lunch helpers, being librarians or Sports Ambassadors as well as lots of sporting competitions and festivals.

The highlight of the year is the residential trip to PGL - three packed days of team building activities.  Everyone comes home happy and exhausted!

We believe that it is important to work hard, but just as important to have fun.  Mrs Mee, Mr Ford, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Bond and Mrs Teversham are there to ensure the children make the best progress they can throughout the year.

Year 6 are currently reading The 1000-Year-Old Boy by Ross Welford

There are stories about people who want to live forever.

This is not one of those stories.

This is a story about someone who wants to stop…

Alfie Monk is like any other nearly teenage boy – except he’s 1,000 years old and can remember the last Viking invasion of England.

Obviously no one believes him.

So when everything Alfie knows and loves is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance, and a different way to live…

… which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.
