Welcome to Year 6!
In Year 6, we have two classes: Pegasus Class and Phoenix Class.
Please click on the links below to see what we have been up to lately in Pegasus and Phoenix Class.
Social Story
Each year, we create a social story for our individual year groups. The aim of the Social Story is to help children become accustomed to their change in environment as they progress through the school. It outlines how their classroom will look, who their teachers are, and how the school day may look.

Our Learning
'Once, I was a duckling' ... From story, to science!
Art Week - 'A Garden of Expression'
Through a blend of poetry and sculpture, Year 6 have reflected on the beauty of nature and our shared responsibility to protect it. This has linked perfectly with our Term 1 topic: ‘How can we save our world?’ Inspired by environmental themes, Year 6 have been writing poems from the perspective of something found in nature — a sorrowful tree, a flowing river, a flower in bloom — giving the natural world a voice of its own. It was lovely to see the children thinking carefully about their language choices and thinking back to the term’s focus of protecting our planet.
In Art, children were inspired by the contemporary wire sculptor Rachel Ducker, whose expressive human figures capture movement and emotion. Using her work as a starting point, children designed and created their own wire sculptures, working in groups to shape figures that express feeling and personality. Have a look at their own ‘gardens of Expression!’
Geodesic structures
Engineering magic happened in Year! Armed with just paper straws and masking tape, the children took on an incredible challenge: building geodesic domes! Watching them problem-solve and work together was great!
These future engineers showed us that with teamwork and creativity, even the simplest materials can transform into something spectacular! The domes are standing tall and proud, just like we are of their amazing effort!
Engage activity: Food tasting!
Year 6 kickstarted their Term 1 Geography topic with some food tasting. As the children will be focusing on global issues in 'How can we save our world?', they were set the challenge to see which continent each food originates from.
It was lovely to see the children so engaged and the adults were so impressed with their prior knowledge! Some children were even able to pinpoint which country it might have come from and why.
