Year 6 2025 - 2026
Mrs Megginson 5/6DM
Welcome to Year 5/6!
Hello. I am Mrs Megginson and I will be your teacher in September. I am really excited that we will be working together! This will be my 8th year teaching at Woodlands and I am the history lead at our school. Did you know – the water that comes out of our taps is the same water that the dinosaurs drank? This is one of my favourite facts ever! I can’t wait to hear yours.
Outside of school I like to spend time with my family and friends. I have 2 children. My son lives and works in Liverpool and my daughter is at college studying for her A-levels, but it doesn’t seem that long ago since they were in Year 5/6! We are all big music fans in our family - we like to go to music concerts and festivals together, go camping and walking in the woods or on a beach.
I am thrilled to be part of the Y5/6 team again this year. We will work hard to make your final year at Woodlands one to remember! We already have lots of exciting ideas and plans in place for you. I know we will have a great year together. I want our classroom to be a busy, happy place and I can’t wait for us to get going.
Miss Woodland 6AW
Hello! I’m Miss Woodland, and I’m incredibly excited to be heading into my fourth year at Woodlands. I’ll be your new Year 6 teacher, and I can’t wait for us to get started!
We have so many exciting things to learn and explore in Year 6, but I’m especially looking forward to getting creative in Art, Design and Technology, and of course, our fantastic Year 6 residential!
If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m a cheerful person who’s known to turn everyday conversations into songs, someone who always has snacks nearby, and who does her best to see the positive in every situation.
At home, I love spending time with my daughter Isabelle, my partner Graham, and our mischievous cat Hattie. We enjoy heading out for ice cream and taking long walks on the beach in search of hidden treasure.
I’m really looking forward to working with you all in September—some of you I may have even taught back in Year 4! I know our classroom will be busy, but it will also be full of laughter, creativity and fun. I can’t wait for the year ahead!
Mrs Edwards 6SE
Allow me to introduce myself! I am Mrs Edwards; I would describe myself as your new Year 6 teacher and a cheerful and outgoing person who believes that life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. I have an unwavering passion for having fun and believe in creating memorable experiences.
When in school, I feel passionate about teaching all subjects however; I adore teaching English and watching your writing, reading and spellings grow throughout the year. I also love the fun and creativity when teaching PE lessons and COJO’s.
Beyond the classroom, I am a proud and devoted mother to two wonderful boys. Being a mum is a significant part of my identity, and I cherish every moment spent nurturing and guiding my children. They inspire me to be the best version of myself and remind me of the importance of love, patience, and constant growth.
With my fun-loving nature, passion for English, dedication to my family, and love for exciting family outings, I hope to bring a vibrant and dynamic energy to our class. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you and creating a warm and inclusive learning environment where we can all thrive and grow together. Let's embark on this exciting journey as a class and make unforgettable memories along the way!
Let’s make Year 6 a year to remember!
Welcome to Year 6!
In English this half term, Year 6 pupils will be reading The Day War Came by Nicola Davies.
Imagine if, on an ordinary day, war came. Imagine it turned your town to rubble. Imagine going on a long and difficult journey – all alone. Imagine finding no welcome at the end of it. Then imagine a child who gives you something small but very, very precious...

What was it like to live through wars in our local area?
Throughout the unit, the children will learn about how Ellesmere Port and Liverpool played important roles during both World Wars, particularly because of their docks, shipbuilding, and factories. They will find out how Liverpool was heavily bombed during the Blitz, leading to great damage and loss. The children will learn about how rationing affected people’s daily lives, with limited food, clothes, and fuel. They will also explore how many children and mothers were evacuated from cities like Liverpool to the countryside for safety, while rural families took in evacuees.
