Fun In Year Six

Hey, I’m Jess! Welcome to Fun In Year Six — a space for teachers to find helpful resources, lesson ideas, classroom inspiration and practical tips to make teaching that little bit easier. With a particular love for all things Upper Key Stage Two and Year 6, I’m here to share resources that you can actually use in your classroom, alongside the highs, lows and everyday reality of teacher life!

About Me

Hi, I’m Jess — the teacher behind Fun In Year Six!

I’ve been teaching for over 12 years, with around 10 years of experience in Upper Key Stage Two. Over that time, I’ve experienced just about every side of teaching — the brilliant moments, the challenging ones, the chaos, the laughter and everything in between!

I started creating teacher content in 2021 as a way to share an honest look at life in the classroom. Since then, Fun In Year Six has become a space where I can celebrate the highs and lows of teaching, while hopefully making other teachers feel a little less alone along the way.

I’m passionate about sharing practical teaching tips, ideas and resources that genuinely make classroom life easier. Whether it’s lesson inspiration, Year 6 advice, classroom organisation, resources or simply the realities of being a teacher, my aim is to create content that is useful, relatable and fun.

Above all, I love being part of the teacher community and sharing the things I’ve learned along the way — while continuing to learn plenty myself!
