Welcome to Year 6

Meet the Year 6 staff

Outdoor Elements

May 2024

Year 6 had a wonderful day at Outdoor Elements near Burnley.  They really pushed themselves and used their growth mindsets!

Art - Textile Collage

March 2024

We have focused on the textile artist Barbara Shaw. We sketched a railway track using one-point perspective and used watercolours to add colour, trying to mirror Paul Nash's style and use of colour to show the mood of the picture.

Art - Perspective Drawings

March 2024

We have focused on the war landscape artist Paul Nash. We sketched a railway track using one-point perspective and used watercolours to add colour, trying to mirror Paul Nash's style and use of colour to show the mood of the picture.

World Book Day 

March 2024

Year 6 have had a great day celebrating World Book Day - but with no pens or pencils! 

Stockport Air Raid Shelters

March 2024

We had a great trip to Stockport Air Raid Shelters and Stockport Museum.  We spent the day in role as evacuees and it was a great way to bring our World War 2 history knowledge into reality.  

Safe Squad

January 2024

Year 6 have taken part in personal safety, digital safety, fire safety and CPR workshops which were led by Safe Squad, part of Tameside Youth Services.  The children learnt valuable life skills and were able to put some of these into practice in the sessions.  

Electrical Circuit Games

December 2023

This week in Design and Technology, Year 6 have used their scientific knowledge to design and create electrical circuit games. They were able to test their games with children and adults around school and gathered some great feedback!

India Day

November 2023

As part of our Geography topic about India and Rivers, we had an India day to immerse ourselves in Indian culture and traditional activities.  We took part in an Indian drumming and dance workshop, tasted traditional Indian sweets, learned about henna and had some put on our hands.  We had a great day!

Crumble Making

October 2023

For our Design Technology unit, we have been tasting, evaluating, designing and making fruit crumbles! We began by tasting and evaluating a fruit crumble.  We were then given a customer who had a specific dietary requirement or food preference.  We had to adapt the crumble recipe to suit their needs.  We then made our own crumbles in groups, learning the skills of peeling, chopping and grating fruit.  Our crumbles were delicious!

Crowden River Trip

October 2023

As part of our Geography topic about rivers, we went on a trip to Crowden.  We spent the whole day outside and learnt lots about the Crowden Great Brook and Crowden Little Brook.  We took lots of measurements of the river including the depth, width and flow speed.  We even found some water insects and classified them using a key.  We had a great day!

Macbeth Workshop

October 2023

We were very fortunate to take part in an interactive performance of Macbeth from The Young Shakespeare Company.  It was great to be able to get involved with the acting!

Mini Whistlers

September 2023

We were very fortunate to have Trevor and Nigel (actual FA referees!) join us for two days to teach us all about refereeing.  We learnt about respect and why it is important in not only football, but everyday life.  

We learnt about different flag positions and had the chance to put our skills into practice in mini games.  

Welcome to Year 6!

September 2023

As part of our start to the year, we have created individual targets to try and achieve this term.   Our target displays are World War 2 themed to fit with our history topic later in the year.
