Our Year 6 classes this year are 6 Canada, 6 Mexico and 6 Peru.

The Standards and Testing Agency recently published an information leaflet regarding testing of Year 6 children, which takes place in May 2019. These tests were overhauled for the summer 2016 tests and currently remain in this format. Please click here or see the bottom of the page to download a copy of the SATs information leaflet. The leaflet, together with the video posted below, provide information about the purpose of the tests, how parents can best support their children and how results will be reported. This link to The School Run also provides a useful summary, together with a range of free resources that can be downloaded.

The video below is a summary of the Key Stage 2 tests that Year 6 pupils will take. 

 

Homework
Homework will be given out on a Friday and is due to be returned by Wednesday. There will be a large emphasis on homework in year 6 this year, children will often be required to a text from our SATs reading text books and complete questions from what they have read.  Homework shall usually consist of spellings, a maths activity, a grammar task and a reading task.

Spellings will be sent home each week.

Other points of note
We ask that children read every day and input this into their reading journal.

PE this year will be on a Thursday afternoon.
