Welcome to our Class page!
Hello and welcome to our 6S Class Page. Here you will find updates on the children's learning, some key information and documents and photographs of the children and their learning. I am looking forward to welcoming the children back and ready for a successful year ahead!
Please find our Year Group Curriculum - this is an overview of everything that will be covered throughout the year: Curriculum Overview Y6
11.12.25 - Electricity Investigation
Today, the children explored electrical circuits. They followed instructions to build a range of circuits using different components. Before setting each circuit up, they made predictions about how the components would affect the brightness of the bulb. After building the circuits, they recorded their observations and compared them with their predictions.
07.10.25 - WizeUp Trip to Hopetown
Year 6 enjoyed a fantastic morning being presented with certificates to finish our financial literacy course ‘WizeUp’ sponsored by Darlington Building Society. The children enjoyed cookies and juice, an explore around the museum and then had time in adventure area, Wagon Woods!
02.10.25 - Science Investigation
A fantastic science investigation today! The children looked at how the size of a shadow is affected by the distance between a light source and an object. The children learned the closer the object is to a light source the bigger the shadow cast. We explored different materials blocking the light source and found opaque objects cast the darkest shadows as it blocks the light completely.
We plotted a line graph to represent our results, which helped us draw conclusions.
17.09.25 - The National Holocaust Centre and Museum
The children had a fascinating morning working with the The National Holocaust Centre and Museum this morning. This was a brilliant addition to our topic World War 2 in History.
We followed the story of Leo, an evacuee, looking at how his life began to change in the lead up to 1939 and the events that followed.
The children looked at the impact of propaganda and the influence Hitler gained in this time.
