Not sure I'd be holding the clutch in with no throttle while going 6-5-4-3-2
Treat each gear change separately or by the time you get to 2nd the engine might've stalled.
Clutch-blip/click-clutch for each gear as speed reduces, that way the engine keeps closer to the desired rev range and you know you're in the right gear when you let the clutch out, and also the back-torque on the tyre helps it grip the tarmac rather than liftup or wiggle sideways.
Ruth, for slipper clutches your best explanation would be Neil's writeup on
