Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
In Year 6, we have three classes: 6 Warhol, 6 Banksy and 6 Vasarely. In 6 Warhol, the class teacher is Miss Holmes. In 6 Banksy, the class teachers are Miss Brown & Mrs Redden. In 6 Vasarely, the class teachers are Mrs Hallett and Mrs Spatcher. In addition, we are fortunate to have Mr Kennedy (HLTA) & Miss Morley (HLTA), Miss Peal, Mrs Masood, Miss Ottaway & Miss Tate who will support across Year 6.
In Year 6, we strive to meet the end of Key Stage 2 expectations and prepare the children for their SATs in a supportive environment. We try to instil independence in the children, as well as develop their resilience and the skills they will need to prepare them for Secondary School and beyond.

What affects our reaction times?

In science this week, we have been testing our reaction times.
We worked in pairs with one of us holding a ruler at the top while the other person held their thumb and index finger apart between the 0 mark on the ruler. The ruler was then dropped, and they had to catch it. The number they caught it at was recorded in a table or results.
We generated our own questions to make comparisons between our reaction times. Some of us tested whether our dominant or non-dominant hand was better, some looked at whether having a distraction affected our reaction times or whether practise improved them.
We tested it several times to ensure our data was more accurate and applied our maths learning by calculating the mean average.
