Year 6 celebrated World Book Day by sharing their favourite books from home with their friends and reading in different locations around school. They especially enjoyed reading outside in the fresh air!
Monday 2nd March - Lent
As we pray, fast and give this Lent, Year 6 helped to raise money for St. Joseph's Penny by sporting crazy hair styles!
Monday 9th February - Children's Mental Health Week
As part of Chlidren's Mental Health Week, Year 6 learned a meditative art form called Zentangling.This technique, which involves the drawing of repeated patterns, encourages mindfulness and has a positive effect on wellbeing. While using this method, children's minds empty and their heart rate drops, helping to create a sense of calm and inner peace.
Take a look at some of the examples of the Zentangles that the children produced and their responses to the process:
Monday 19th January - Computing: To understand why a variable is used in a program.
Using Scratch, Year 6 created and named their own variables in order to make a scoreboard.
Wednesday 14th January - Geography: To Identify Human and Physical Features of South America.
In today's lesson, Year 6 revised physical and human features. They then classified specific features of South America, putting them into the correct category of human or physical.
Wednesday 17th December 2025 – The Travelling Nativity
Year 6 welcomed Mary, Joseph and the little donkey into their classroom. They shared a liturgy, reading from the Gospel of Luke; reflecting on the journey that Mary and Joseph had to make and praying for those who are without homes or security at the moment.

Monday 24th November - Year 6 are on their way to Robinwood!
11th November 2025 - Remembrance Day: To remember and honour all the men and women who have died fighting in wars, Year 6 gathered together for the two-minute silence and prayed the Eternal Rest afterwards. They also read In Flanders Fields by John McCrae, reflecting on the message of the poem. They then used the poem to create Blackout Poetry and as inspiration for their Silhouette Art.
November 2025 - Rocks of Remembrance. As part of our Day of the Dead celebrations, Year 6 designed and made Rocks of Remembrance for loved ones who have passed away. The rocks are a lovely way to remember friends and family members who have been lost and will make a beautiful keepsake for the children to treasure in the future.
October 2025 - Computing: Pupils worked on a collaborative project, creating a fact file about a South American country, using only their laptops to communicate. Once completed, each group will present their country fact file to the rest of the class.
20th October 2025 - Science: Year 6 had fun exploring different light phenomena, such as reflection, refraction and optical illusions. They also enjoyed using a range of optical instruments, including periscopes and microscopes.
15th October 2025 - English: Year 6 had to retrieve information from our class novel "Letters from the Lighthouse" and use these details to create a map of the fictional Devonshire village of Budmouth Point.
8th October - Mathematics: Year 6 used counters to help them to understand the importance of using the correct order of operations (BODMAS).
8th October - Physical Education: Year 6 were challenged to guide their blindfolded partner around an obstacle course. Not only did this enhance their empathy and trust, it also put their communication skills to the test!
October:- Science: Year 6 investigated how shadows can change. They concluded that the closer an object is to the light source, the bigger the shadow will be.
Friday 3rd October - Year 6 kicked off our class assemblies in style this morning celebrating Black History Month. They welcomed all the children and their parents in to the hall and performed their assembly perfectly.

2nd October - Year 6 participated in a Diversity Workshop delivered by the Manchester United Foundation. During the workshop, pupils reflected on how our differences make us all unique, with a focus on Diversity in Sport and Black History Month. As part of the workshop and to celebrate National Poetry Day, each child created their own poem linked to diversity.
September 2025 - Science: Children investigated the reflectivity of different materials using a reflective light catcher.
September 2025 - Computing: LO: To recognise how data is transferred across the internet. Children simulated the process of sending data packets over a network. The children around the edge of the room were the computer systems and the children in the middle were the routers, passing information from one to the other. Amazingly, all the data packets travelled to their correct destination - well done, Year 6!
September 2025 - Science: To explore how light travels. Year 6 modelled how light travels in straight lines using a piece of ribbon and then drew scientific diagrams to represent this.
