St James CofE Primary School
Year 6
Welcome to Year 6. In Year 6, we believe it is important that the children develop a sense of community. Whether it’s plays, residential trips, or being a science technician, we place a strong emphasis on the children working collaboratively as a team, towards shared goals. We encourage Year 6 to become leaders and to contribute to school life, by becoming a House Captain, or supporting the transition into Reception. Our aim is to ensure that all children leave school as well-rounded individuals – equipped with important life skills – and are prepared for life in secondary school and beyond.

Autumn 1
In Year 6 this half term we have been looking at many different things such as; out class book ‘Pig Heat Boy’ by Malorie Blackman, a book about a boy called Cameron whose only chance to survive is a heart transplant from a heart. We considered the pros and cons of having a xenotransplantation and wrote balanced arguments for and against.
In science we have also been learning about hearts. We even got the chance to dissect a sheep’s heart! It was great to use what we have learnt to identify the different values and chambers.
We have also been taking part in some great sporting events this half term. We went to a football tournaments and played a netball match against Coleridge. We were very proud of how well we did and look forward to more competitions in the future.
This half term we also had our house captain elections. Our house captains for this year are;
Sapphire – Anaya and Jackson
Jade – Otis and Rakhi
Amber – Martha and Aiva
Opal – Charles and Jamie
Ruby – Isla and Charlie
We are sure they will be great representatives for their houses!
Finally, we have been recreating the story of ‘Soliday and the bird of darkness’ as part of Black history month. The story follows our hero Soliday as he tries to free his island from a giant bird who is blocking out the sun. We worked in groups to rewrite the story and created illustrations in the style of Faith Ringgold. We can’t wait to share our book at our class assembly!
We look forward to lots more learning next half term!

Year 6 PE & Sports Opportunities
In Year 6, our children have the opportunity to take part in weekly fencing lessons run by specialist sports coaches at FightingFitFencing.
At St James Primary, we try to introduce our children to as many new opportunities and experiences as possible throughout their time here.
Fencing is a fantastic activity for young people and one that they may not normally experience outside school. As well as its physical benefits, it is a sport of strategy, tactics and mental agility. It's ancient origins mean that the traditonal values of respect, manners and sportsmanship - thinsg that we belive strongly in at school - are at the heart of the sport.
In addition to their fencing lessons, Year 6 also continue with their specialist netball sports coaching and you can find out more information on that here.
