Year 6 News
Mr D. Hebb
Hello, welcome to Year 6. My name is Mr Hebb and I am the class teacher. I have been a teacher at Keyingham for over 20 years now and most of them have been in either Year 5 or Year 6. I am a keen writer and love to read outside of school and also enjoy playing and watching football as well as running to keep fit.
Across all of our lessons in Year 6, we will make sure we show pride in all of our work and show courage and curiosity in all that we learn. We like to work with a smile on our face and we know we need to work hard and try our best in everything we do. Year 6 is an important year as it is our last year in Primary School as we work towards starting Secondary School.
I look forward to showing you how we are getting on through the weekly updates on our class blog.
