Year 6 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 26th September 2025
Y6 – 26th September Friday 2025 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 6
Looking back:
Another week has passed and we have been supremely busy this week with so many different activities. We’re enjoying our story, Stig of the Dump, and this week, we’ve written about cave art, to accompany the art we have been drawing in our history books. Maths has seen us learning about common factors and common multiples, whilst in the afternoon, we’ve been busy making different sorts of ‘paper’. Of course, nothing we have done in class this week could have matched the excitement of precisely 2:35pm on Friday afternoon – Year 6 found out who their buddies are going to be for the year ahead. Our biggest thanks go to Mrs Flint who has spent a loooooooong time doing her utmost to pair up our oldest and youngest to make everyone happy. She’s done it, once again. Lots of excited faces today. Thank you to you, our families, for supporting the Year 6 in making their fantastic buddy books – what a lovely little gift for their young buddies.
Don’t forget to check out our weekly photos! Keep an eye out on social media for some special photos too!

- How did you use the materials to make your “paper” with Mrs Cowell?
- Which symbols are you using for Mrs Riddell’s work?
Looking forward:
