Welcome to Year 6 - Autumn 2026
Welcome back! I hope you have had a great summer and are looking forward to lots of exciting learning.
The children have had a good few days, catching up with friends and meeting the new adults who will working with them this year.
On Friday (4th) we found out who are new house captains will be this year and on the 11th we will find out who will have prefect roles.
Parents are warmly invited into class on Monday 4th at 3pm to 'Meet the Teacher'. Linked to this class page are the slides for this meeting if you are unable to attend.
Also, you will find the parent leaflet for autumn which tells you all about our curriculum for this term. Your child has been sent home with a hard copy of this, so have a look in their bags if they haven't already shared it with you.

Year 6 used their Ancient Greek History knowledge to design and make a moving image, using a cam system. The children used skills such as measuring, cutting and joining to create their product. I was very impressed with how hard the class worked throughout this project and how well they could explain what a cam is and how they are able to produce different types of movement.
Year 6 Owls
Year 6 have been working really hard on their sewing skills. As part of the many leaving activities, they have used old uniform to create these wonderful owls.
I hope that the children have enjoyed making their owls and, in years to come, will look at them and fondly remember their time at Ladbrooke.
Year 6 Art Project 2026
Year 6 worked hard to develop their pencil and painting skills with our resident Artist Charlotte to create new values displays for the Hall.

Today, Thomas Mgbor, and ex pupil, visited Ladbrooke and worked with Year 6. Thomas has just finished a four year degree at Loughborough doing Product Design Engineeering. As part of his degree he has been been involved in the pilot of a STEM book, which encourages young children to take part in different STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) activities. Thomas asked to try some of these out with the class. What a great day! Year 6 had lots of fun participating in tasks they might not have done at a primary school level. Thomas has inspired the children to consider what secondary school and beyond could look like.
