Welcome to Year 6 Southgate Class.

In Year 6 we build on making the children more independent learners following on from their time in Year 5. The children are expected to continue to increase their pace and stamina for learning. They are required to use their prior skills and knowledge to secure and extend their inquisitive minds. Firm boundaries and expectations are in place from the beginning of the year and continue to remain in place until they start their journey into key stage 3.
We start the year with a three-day residential to encourage team building and independence. Children get the opportunity to participate in adventurous outdoor activities and team building skills. This is a great start to their final year in primary school. All children are encouraged to ‘Let their Light Shine’ throughout the year be it in school or on school trips.
In Year 6 we enjoy the privilege of being the oldest children in the school as are given greater independence and responsibility. Throughout the year we can take part in activities such as being Chaplains, House Captains and School Councillors. We are trusted as buddies to the youngest children – even taking part in Forest School with them – and role models for the rest of the school.
Our learning includes subjects which impact on our lives. You can find out more details about the subjects we learn about by reading our newsletters.
