Welcome to Year 6
Welcome to our wonderful Year 6 Class
My name is Miss Noon and I will be your class teacher next academic year. I love all things Y6. This will be my fourth year teaching at St Francis of Assisi and my third year in Y6. I am looking forward to a very busy and challenging, but productive and rewarding year. At university, I spent lots of time studying education and learning theories to aid my passion for teaching. I love seeing children develop both academically and personally whilst exploring the world around them. My favourite hobby is reading; I love getting lost in new fictional worlds and hope to promote this love within the classroom. Our classroom will be a fun, safe and enriching learning space where everyone can strive to be the
best versions of themselves. I am delighted to be teaching Y6 and can’t wait to start our learning journey together.
Supporting your child’s learning in Y6 will be Mrs P Phillips, a long-standing and very committed member of our support staff, with over 20 years of experience working with children. She will provide class support to those children who may need further explanations and teaching; lead interventions and group work for children with SEND; and support children at playtimes and lunch times.

What is Google Classroom?
Google Classroom is a collaboration tool for teachers and pupils. Miss Appleyard and Miss O’Hara have created an online classroom and invited your child to the class. As well as using Google Classroom to complete tasks within school – we will create and assign homework tasks via Google Classroom too! Your child has their own username and password – they can access Google Classroom via the internet on any device.
Sign in for the first time
- Go to classroom.google.com and click Go to Classroom.
- Enter the email address for your Classroom account and click Next.
- Enter your password and click Next.
- If there is a welcome message, review it and click Accept.

Click to join Year 6 and you will then view this screen:
If you look near the top of your screen, you will have 3 subheadings: Stream, Classwork and People. If you click ‘Classwork’, it will you show all of the learning I have set for you.
Click the assignment you want to get started on, to find this page….
On this screen, you will see a little message or some instructions from me to help guide you with the task and my expectations. Below that you can see I have added a PowerPoint to this assignment for you to have a look at to help with your learning. You might also see here some links to videos for you to watch or other activities that might be useful.
On the right handside of the page, you can see there’s a word document there or a PDF. This is the worksheet that I want you to record your answers on. Click it and it should download into a word document. If it downloads as a PDF that you can’t write on, either click the ‘Open with Google Docs’.
If your work opens in Google Docs…
If it opens with Google Docs your page will now display like the image below. You can type into this document and draw diagrams etc just as you would do in a normal document. When you have finished your work, click file in the top left corner and then download. It will give you the option to download as a Microsoft Word or a PDF. Either of those are fine.
Once you have saved the document, go back to your Google Classroom into the assignment you have just completed and saved. To hand your work in you need to click ‘Add or Create’ on the right handside above where it says ‘Turn in’. Add the document you have just saved by clicking file and finding the file. It will then upload onto the right handside and you can click ‘Turn In’. Your learning will now be sent to me for me to mark and give you feedback. 🙂
EDale Residential – February 2026
Year 6 have arrived safely and are having a blast! The walk was a muddy one but lots of fun and giggles. Welly throwing went down a treat, followed by a delicious meal to fill their tummys. We finished the day off with a treasure hunt – fun was had by all. The teachers are trying to get them settled… we have a feeling it might be a long night! Parents… enjoy the peace!
W/E 19.9.25: Year 6 went to Lotherton Hall this week to support their learning about World War 2 Evacuees. There they took part in activities such as learning First Aid of the times, how to interpret Morse Code and they also sang World War 2 songs.
