Latest Year 6 News & Events

• Friday 11 September 2026 Year Six's Class Charter - Inspired by heraldry For our Year 6 class charter, the children have been exploring Heraldry – the art and study of designing special symbols called coats of arms. In the Middle Ages, coats of arms were used to identify people, families and groups, with each symbol, colour and image representing something important about them.The children put their own creative spin on this tradition by designing a class charter inspired by heraldry. They thought carefully about the values, qualities and beliefs that are important to them. By combining history, creativity and reflection, the children created a shield representing themselves.

• Friday 5 June 2026 Year 6 Prepare for their Fiver Challenge Last week, Year 6 planned out their Fiver Challenge! The Fiver Challenge is an entrepreneurial endeavour in which the children attempt to turn £5 into profit. In teams, they decide on a product, create an advertisement (poster), conduct market research and purchase and resell their goods at the Fiver Challenge Fair (18/5/26). Who will make the most money? Who will be FIRED? For now, here are their posters!
• Tuesday 2 June 2026 Year Six are Bee Friendly! As part of Walk to School Week this year, Year 6 has been learning about what makes a street bee-friendly. A bee-friendly street is a healthy street with fewer cars and more flowers, making it safer for children to walk, scoot and cycle to school while also creating important habitats for bees and other pollinators.To share what we know, Year 6 designed colourful bee-friendly posters to encourage others to think about how they travel to school and how they can help pollinators. We also created our own pledges, promising to take actions such as walking or scooting more often, planting flowers for bees, and helping to keep our environment clean and healthy.
• Friday 24 April 2026 Year Six Are Toy Makers Year 6 have begun a new computing unit this term called We Are Toy Makers. As part of this project, pupils will design and create their own programmable toys using the Micro:bit. In their first lesson, the children explored the different components of the Micro:bit, learning how each part contributes to its functionality. They then applied this knowledge by writing their own code, successfully turning the device into a step counter. Ms Marable
• Thursday 12 March 2026 Year Six's Fantastic Science Week Year 6 had a fantastic time celebrating Science Week, which this year focused on the theme 'Curiosity: What's your question?'.

It has been fantastic to see their enthusiasm as they refine their performances.
