Welcome to Year 6!
We are excited to begin our journey together in what will be a memorable and rewarding final year of primary school. Year 6 is a time to grow in confidence, challenge ourselves, and celebrate achievements—both big and small, along with a sense of resilience to work through all challenges.

Throughout the year, we will explore new ideas, work hard to prepare for the transition to secondary school, and enjoy opportunities to shine across all areas of learning. Most importantly, our classroom is a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and encouraged to do their very best.

We can’t wait to share our learning, successes, and experiences with you as the year unfolds!

Year six had an amazing opportunity to visit Birmingham College University. Within the day, they got to experience what it would be like to study on campus. The class also experienced what it would be like to be taught in a lecture room. In addition to this, the children were able to take part in a hunt in the library looking at the fantastic range of books available to students on site. Finally, year six role-played a trial in one of the mock courtrooms in which a defendant was tried and found guilty of a crime. The class had a fantastic time and this allowed them to also understand where they could potentially go to study in the future, linking to our rights respecting article 28 ( right to education).

.Upon the completion and hardwork from the children for SATS to celebrate we had a day at Sutton park where the children took part in many activities enjoyed the sunshine and had ice creams.Well done year 6 on your fantastic work and completing your SATS!! : ).

Within year 6 to celebrate NSPCC number day we firstly discussed who NSPCC are. We played multiplication and division games which the children really enjoyed testing and challenging their own understanding. Alongside this we also had a mathematical investigation in which year 6 had to solve this. Finally the class played some dice games to test their multiplication skills.

Year 6 World War II Reenactment
Step back in time with Year 6 as they bring history to life by recreating the tense atmosphere of an air raid shelter during the early days of World War II. Children will experience what it may have felt like to take cover as the nation prepared for conflict. The reenactment will also feature a powerful reading of Neville Chamberlain’s famous speech, declaring that Britain was at war with Germany in 1939. This immersive performance will give a real sense of the fear, uncertainty, and resilience shown by ordinary people during this pivotal moment in history.

Year 6 held a reading workshop where parents were invited to read with their children. The workshop was to encourage families to enjoy books together and share the love of reading. It was a great opportunity for children to share their favourite books and also to inspire them to read more.
