Year 6

Welcome to the Year 6 page!

We are looking forward to an exciting year, full of enthusiasm, ambition and determination as we come to the end of our journey at St Peter's. In Year 6 we strive to be role models, as we set high expectations in all we do. Recently we have been focussing on various quotes of determination, resilience and perseverance - vocabulary which we use frequently in our learning.

We have recently tasted an assortment of Greek food and studied some beautiful pottery to understand what life was like in Ancient Greece.

PDL 

In PDL this term we have been working on our goals and the world of work. We have been focusing primary on the UNICEF rights of the child articles:

We have been researching our dream jobs to determine the education requirements, job responsibilities and salaries (which were surprising!) Finally we learned how to write a CV for our dream job, including all our learning this unit.
