Welcome

Welcome to the Year 6 class page! Your teacher this year will be Mrs Draper, with support from Mrs Brannan. In Year 6, we will be inspiring you to work hard throughout the year in order to prepare you for secondary school and beyond. There will also be many exciting topics, trips and activities to get stuck into! Year 6 is such an important year where we can enjoy our residential to Peat Rigg, topics such as World War II and so many brilliant novels such as Holes by Louis Sachar.

We are looking forward to seeing you grow into responsible and independent learners as the role models of the school. Let's go for it!
