Welcome to Year 6
Autumn 2025
We have had an extremely busy Autumn term as we have moved into our final year at St Pius.
They have attended Mass and our altar servers were excellent again.
They have planned and led some thoughtful, child-led Celebration of the Word sessions, showing growing confidence and responsibility in their faith journey.
The class proudly took part in Hello Yellow Day, learning about the importance of mental health and supporting one another.
Our visit to Manchester was a real highlight, where pupils explored the Imperial War Museum North and watched The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at The Lowry. It was absolutely incredible and a rel treat!
As part of our transition, we have visited St Bernard's for a morning of PE. Maths and English.
Year 6 have also enjoyed spending time as buddies to the Reception class, showing kindness and leadership throughout the term. We are very proud of all they have achieved.
Summer 2025
In their final half term at St Pius X, Year 6 had a brilliant time filled with hard work, fun and celebration. They took part in Young Citizens, where they worked together to explore responsibility and community, showing how ready they are for the next stage of their journey.
One of their main highlights was their whole-school show, ‘Year Six and Friends’ where they led the singing and dancing—something they loved, as performing has always been a big part of their year group’s time here.
To finish the year, they also enjoyed an exciting trip to Brockhole Nets at Ambleside, where they laughed, bounced, and made lasting memories together, marking a wonderful end to their primary school years. They will be missed!
Spring 2025
We actually had a really exciting Spring Term as we brought our London residential forward and went in February. We had a brilliant time and loved being away together. We went to the Science Museum and ended up being filmed in their promotional video! We went on the London Eye - which was scary but great fun - a river cruise, the Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament. This has been the highlight of the year so far!
Many of us went with the choir to Young Voices just before our London residential. As always it was an extraordinary experience singing with all those thousands of other children. This year it was in the new arena so it was bigger and better.
Autumn 2 2024
ADVENTURES!
In PE, we have been doing Gymnastics and Team Building Activities. We practised our forward and backward rolls and tried new balances. In Design and Technology, we have been sewing. We made phone cases from felt and Christmas cards. We used cross stitch and back stitch to complete our designs. We went to Manchester this half term. We visited the Manchester War Museum as part of our World War Two topic. We found the visit exciting and interesting. We learnt lots of new facts. After this we went to see ELF at the Palace Theatre. In Computing, we learnt how to design websites and looked at different school websites. We think ours is the best! Our Art project has been about Street Art. We applied techniques explored through the unit to produce some creative work. .As part of our Christmas performance we got to dance on stage and sing .This was our last school Christmas performance at St. Pius X .
THIS HALF TERM HAS BEEN EXCELLENT FOR ALL OF US. WE LOOK FORWARD TO 2025.
By Year 6
In Year Six, we have been writing World War Two radio announcements. Here is an example of what we have been doing.
Autumn 2024
Year Six have loved spending time with their new buddies from Reception. They have decided to learn to play some songs, which they think their buddies would like, in Music to perform to them. This week they learned Baby Shark!
We have been studying Global Population in Geography and we have done a field trip to the area just outside our school and collected data and used the Likert Scale.
Summer 2 2024
Well, we have reached the final term of Year 6 and the end of our primary school journey.
We are ready for the next step to secondary school. We have made our teachers so proud and they will be extremely sad to see us go.
This term we have enjoyed so many exciting and final events including our final Mass, a huge water fight, our leavers' assembly and of course our amazing residential to London.
Summer 1 2024
We have been very busy in this first half of the Summer term.
We completed our SATs with 100% effort from everyone. Our teachers are so proud of us.
We still managed to squeeze in time to go to Furness College for a Future Engineering Careers event where we worked with businesses to problem solve and work as a team. We had to budget, manage resources and present our products to the class.
We enjoyed a visit from an Olympic athlete where she really put us through our paces!
We also loved designing, making and playing maths games with our Reception class buddies.
Spring 2 2024
Year 6 have enjoyed another short but very busy half term.
In Art, we have been learning photography and we studied macro photography, photomontage, digital art and photo realistic portraits.
In Science, we have been investigating changing componants in circuits and learning how to draw circuit diagrams accurately.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Lowry Theatre in Manchester to watch a live performance of 'The Boy at the Back of the Class' which we had read last year.
Our librarians have also been very busy organising our new books: £500 worth of graphic novels as requested by the children, and a donation of over 50 books from a local business.
