Year 6

Welcome to Year Six.

The end of Key Stage Two, is almost here! An exciting year with lots of challenges and opportunities to experience new activities.

You will be expected to set good examples and take on more individual responsibility. For example you could become a Play Leader and help younger children enjoy focused play times or learn a new game. You may also help your teacher by becoming a monitor; distributing fruit, organising the library or setting up equipment in Nursery and Reception.

Travel back in time. See what life was like for your grandparents during the Second World War. Experience exciting school days, linked to our history topics, including a visit to Eden Camp, VE Day party celebrations, and a presentation for pupils and parents through Art, Drama, Music and Poetry.

Try an exciting after school club or activity: Art, Science, Chess, Choir, Netball, Football, Gymnastics, Multi-skills and Computer clubs are all available on various evenings after school.

Various opportunities for P.E. will keep you on your toes all year. Experience swimming, tennis, dance, cross-country running, athletics, gymnastics and team games. You won´t have time to sit still.

Inspired by Art? Work in the style of

Picasso´s ´Guernica´ using poetry and collage; draw a self-portrait to accompany your autobiography; use chalks and pastels to create a realistic Blitz effect and silk paint poppies for Remembrance Day.

Challenge yourself in practical science sessions. Explore the effects of air resistance and upthrust. Construct your own rocket, using careful streamlining and aerodynamics and enter it in the school competition - the school record is 90 metres.

At the end of a hard working year, how do you like the sound of a week at Peat Rigg Outdoor Centre where you can experience rock climbing, shelter buiilding, beck scrambling and most of all "have the time of your life? Return in time for a fantastic finale to the year; a leavers´ assembly fit for Broadway
