Welcome to the year 6 pupil page.
Here you will find regular updates of what is happening in the classroom, examples of our fabulous work and photos of our learning and activities. Make sure to check in monthly.
Reading is a key part of learning and through a range of texts, we hope children become immersed and enjoy reading for pleasure.
Here is a list of recommended reads for Year 6 to help inspire and excite children.
March- House of Parliament school trip
February- DT
We have been developing our DT skills and creating marionette puppets. To do this we have had to work in groups to mould and cut wire, measure and saw wood and use a hand drill to create holes. Our next steps are to add clothing to our puppets by sewing fabric together and adding embellishments before stringing our puppet to the handle.
January- Art
Through our studying of collages we have learnt that there are many techniques used to create effect. We have learnt about ruching, ripping, layering and overlapping, drawing over the top and alongside collage, directional strips of paper, use of colour and 3D elements.
Here are some examples of our work. Can you see the deliberate choices we have made with materials and techniques?
December- Science
We have been learning about living things in science this half term including micro-organisms.
We have been lucky enough to conduct our own experiments to see where we think the most bacteria is growing. We took swabs from various surfaces around the school and left them in a petri dish for several weeks to allow the bacteria to multiply.
These are photos of our results.
November- Geography
Our geography unit has taught us about the structure of the Earth and the movement of the plates. We have learnt about volcanoes that form along the crust because of this. Would you want to live near a volcano? Believe it or not, there are some benefits as shown in our work.
October- Sharing our work
This month we have written our own retelling of action sequence from the story Jumanji. We worked hard to build suspense and tension as well as maintain description when writing action. Once our stories were completed and published we spent time sharing our work with year 2 pupils.
September- Hilltop
At the start of our school year, we were whisked off to Hilltop in Norfolk to challenge ourselves- and our teachers- with a range of challenges. We have all come away with a treasure trove of memories from conquering our fears, to cheering each other on, to create stronger or new friendships. Thank you year 6 for a lovely few days.
