Welcome to our Year 6 webpage! This year, our class is inspired by two incredible figures: Stan Lee, the legendary comic book writer, and Amanda Gorman, the trailblazing poet. Both individuals have used their creativity and words to inspire generations, promoting messages of hope, justice, and imagination. Stan Lee taught us that heroes can come from the unlikeliest of places, while Amanda Gorman has shown the power of young voices in shaping a better future. Together, they represent courage, creativity, and a sense of social responsibility — qualities we hope to instil in our pupils.On this page you will find key information relating to our classes, including links to websites to use for home learning. While you’re here, please take a moment to look at some of our fantastic work we have been doing; photos of school trips, visitors to school, special events, a residential trip and finally... SATs!

Homework is given out each week, but we encourage your child to spend time on the following learning apps to consolidate what is taught in class.  Their log-in information can be found in their planners.

School Daze Song List

 

Old School Days

Verse 1    Old school days, oh the crisp autumn mornings,

And I’m walking through the gates at five to nine.

Here comes Miss Johnson* at ninety miles per hour,

‘Cause she never gets to work on time!

Chorus    Though the memory’s a haze, I’m really amazed,

When I think back to my old school days.

Verse 2    Old school days, such a rounded education,

‘Cause I learned much more than my A B C,

How to fire a spit-ball with my ruler and blame it

On the person next to me!

Chorus    Though the memory’s a haze…..

Verse 3    Old school days, oh the lunches I remember,

Always trying to stop the infants spilling their drink.

The dinner ladies running round like headless chickens,

As we pushed them to the brink!

Chorus    Though the memory’s a haze…..

Verse 4    Old school days, oh the summer term was wonderful,

Playtime ‘mischief’ on the football pitch.

Stuffing fresh-cut grass down each other’s backs -

Oh boy, it didn’t half itch!

Chorus    Though the memory’s a haze…..

Verse 5    Old school days, well they changed so quickly,

And we toddled off to ‘comp’ so sheepishly,

Or Grammar School or maybe independent,

But it’s all still secondary!

Chorus    Though the memory’s a haze…..

 

Teachers Have It Easy

Verse 1    When some say that teachers have it easy,

You know what I think I agree!

They get to spend cold playtimes sitting inside,

With biscuits and hot cups of tea!

While we’re making do with a small piece of fruit,

They all munch on their kit-kats with glee!

When some say that teachers have it easy,

You know what I think I agree!

Verse 2    When some say that teachers have it easy,

I reckon that this might be right!

They get to boss children about all day long,

And make us do homework at night!

Because we’re not old we must do as we’re told,

Which is such an insufferable plight!

When some say that teachers have it easy,

I reckon that this might be right!

Verse 3    When some say that teachers have it easy,

The nail has been hit on the head!

They seem to have very long holidays,

While others are working instead!

I bet it’s a breeze living life with such ease,

Must be comfy as staying in bed!

When some say that teachers have it easy,

The nail has been hit on the head!

Verse 4    When I have left school and have grown up,

A teacher I think I shall be.

I’ll turn up at nine, by half-three it’s home time!

But then again, hmmm, let me see……

There’s planning, assessing,

Marking and testing,

Curriculum knowledge,

Four years at college,

Meetings, form-filling,

They have to show willing

When mums want a conversation

At morning registration……phew!

When some say that teachers have it easy,

I’m sorry, but I just can’t agree!

 

ATTITUDE!

Chorus      Please accept our apologies,

We don’t mean to be rude.

We’re just developing a serious attitude!

And though it seems we’re in

A permanent bad mood,

We’re just developing an A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E…

Attitude!

Verse 1      You may not understand,

But Mum, when I am near my friends

Don’t try to hold my hand!

It’s not that I don’t love you anymore,

It’s just that I’m not the little baby

That I was before!

Chorus      Please accept our apologies…..

Verse 2      I’ve crossed the line again!

But Miss, the rules were made for bending,

Weren’t they, now and then?

It’s not that I don’t want to make the grade

It’s just that I’m now a big kid

And that’s how big kids are made!

Chorus      Please accept our apologies…..

A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E!   A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E!

A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E!   A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E!

Chorus      Please accept our apologies…..

 

 

It's Nearly Time To Take Your SATS

Verse 1    It’s nearly time to take your SATs,

You lazy little squirt.

You need to lock yourself away

And study ’til it hurts.

Think about your poor old folks,

They feel the pressure too.

They’ve told you that if you mess up

They’ll disinherit you.

Verse 2   It’s nearly time to take your SATs,

And then big school next term.

You don’t want them to think you’re daft,

You lazy little worm.

You’ll languish in the bottom set,

When all your friends have said

They now don’t want to play with you,

You ruin their street cred.

Verse 3   It’s nearly time to take your SATs,

You really should be scared.

’Cause you’ve been outside having fun,

You’re not at all prepared.

There are those who think

You’re much too young to take the strain,

But you wimps need to toughen up

And feel a little pain.

Verse 4   It’s nearly time to take your SATs,

Prepare yourself for war!

By following our battle plan

You’ll maximise your score.

Your teacher’s job is on the line

So take this seriously…………………..

Or she’ll be spending all next year

Watching daytime TV!

 

A Touch Of Lipstick

Verse 1    We’re a little bit older,

And we’re a little bit bolder.

We want to come across less infantile,

And we want to start looking like we’ve got some style,

So we’ve been in front of the mirror,

For more than a little while.

Chorus

(Girls)        A touch of lipstick,

(Boys)         A bit of hair-gel,

(All)             A squirt of ‘deo’ to improve the smell.

We feel a million dollars and we’re looking swell,

With a touch of lipstick and a bit of hair-gel.

Verse 2

(Girls)        Well, there’s nothing that’s finer

Than a spot of eyeliner.

(Boys)        And when it comes to really raising the tone

We can always wear a splash of Dad’s eau-de-cologne!

(All)           ’Cause each one of us is on a mission

To show you how much we’ve grown.

Chorus    A touch of lipstick….

Verse 3    Want to make an impression,

With some self-expression.

But maybe all those beauty products we’ve found,

Are making us look funnier than Coco the Clown!

So let’s remember that ‘less is more’

And really try to tone it down!

Chorus    A touch of lipstick….

 

Parental Consultation Evening

(All)             The time’s arrived for us to meet to ‘talk things through’.

Are things progressing well,

Or is there more that we can do?

Well everyone involved is coiled

As tightly as a spring –

Oh, we’re dreading the conversation

At parental consultation evening!

Verse 2

(Parents)      We’d rather juggle jars of nitro-glycerine,

Than be told how awfully-behaved

Our darling child has been!

To hear they’re less than perfect

Is a catastrophic thing –

Oh, we’re dreading the conversation

At parental consultation evening!

Verse 3

(Children)     We’d rather walk with bare feet over broken glass,

Than to have our parents know what we

Are truly like in class!

Our fate hangs in the balance

By a flimsy piece of string –

Oh, we’re dreading the conversation

At parental consultation evening!

Middle 8

(Parents)      We hope that ‘Your child could try much harder’,

Is the worse that will be said!

(Children)     We hope they don’t find out about

Our frequent visits to the head!

Verse 4

(Teachers)    Although we can’t, we’d really rather say to you

‘Your child’s not right for school,

They’d fit in better at the zoo!’

But instead we’ll say they’re ‘spirited’

‘Unique’ and ‘interesting’ –

Oh, we’re dreading the conversation

At parental consultation evening!

 

One Day At A TIme

Verse 1      When I’ve had enough of doing as I’m told,

I can’t see any benefit

In not being very old.

It seems a million years until I reach eighteen,

The age when I can no longer

Be made to eat my greens.

And I can’t wait to live on coke and pizza,

But I’m being cared for now, so I think I’ll take it…

Chorus      One day at a time,

There’s no rush to see tomorrow.

I know the future is mine,

So I’m gonna live it one day at a time.

Verse 2      As I look around at older boys and girls,

I long to taste their freedom,

I want to know the grown-up world.

I want to stay up late drinking cups of tea,

And maybe watch something that’s cooler

Than CBBC.

And I can’t wait to widen my horizon,

But I’m feeling safe right now, so I think I’ll take it…

Chorus      One day at a time……

Verse 3     When I think about how the world is treating me,

Some things I don’t understand,

While some are plain to see.

And though it seems my life has only just begun,

In many ways I’ve grown so much,

So many things I’ve done.

And I can’t wait to see what’s round the corner,

But I love where I am right now, so I think I’ll take it…

Chorus      One day at a time……

Repeat Chorus
