Year 6 - Mrs quinn
Mrs Quinn taught this class from December 2024 to May 2025. After that, Y6 once again became 1 class, with Miss McLoughlin as their teacher
Welcome to Year 6VQ!
We have a lovely class of 15 children who are all very excited about the wonderful activities in store for them in their final year of primary school.
Some important reminders:
- PE is on a Tuesday. Children should come to school in full PE kit (navy shorts or joggers and a plain white T-shirt). All jewellery, including earrings, should be removed prior to PE lessons.
- Children should bring their reading book to school each day and should read at home at least three times each week. Please sign the home learning diary when your child has read.
- Home learning tasks are given on a Friday and should be returned by the following Wednesday.
- Please remember to bring a water bottle to school each day.

Spring 2
Science Week - Visit to Southmoor
During Science week, Year 6 enjoyed a visit to Southmoor to take part in a workshop all about renewable energy. The children worked in pairs to design and make their own wind turbine using a range of resources including paper plates, cups, straws and split pins. There were some great designs. Using a hairdryer, the designs were put to the test and the children then adapted them. A great afternoon was had by all.
Spring 1
English
This half term we are enjoying two texts, 'When the Sky Falls' and 'Rose Blanche.' Both of these texts are historical narratives. We have been exploring vocabulary choices and looking at how synonyms and antonyms can be used in the same sentence. We have also been exploring the ways in which an author describes a characters personality.
Science
In science this half term we have been learning about light. We experimented using torches to see what happens to a shadow when the light source is moved. We used a prism to show how white light is split into the colours of the rainbow. The children enjoyed making their own colour wheels.
