It's the Summer Term!

And that means... SATs!!! So here's a timetable of what test will be on each day:

Monday 12th May - SPaG and Spelling

Tuesday 13th May - Reading

Wednesday 14th May - Maths Arithmetic and Reasoning Paper 1

Thursday 15th May - Maths Reasoning Paper 2

Generally, the class seem pretty positive with the upcoming tests. Again, from a rather relaxed approach and the preparations we’ve done before the Easter break and throughout the academic year, they are well set up to do as well as they can as individuals. I hope the papers that have been sent home have been a help.

In the afternoons of the SAT week, we’ll be focusing on the next day’s tests for a short while, before going off timetable a little to relax the children with a variety of activities and hopefully enjoy the weather a little! On the Friday of SAT week, we will be having our traditional ‘Outdoor Day’, where the children will need to be in outdoor clothing.

Year 6 PE will continue to be on a Tuesday morning and Friday afternoon.

After the SAT tests, in literacy, we’ll be starting our work on ‘The Arrival’ by Shaun Tan. I’m really looking forward to reading the children’s work that they produce and we’ll look to make copies so they can bring written pieces home to share with you, or copy work up onto chromebooks so you can see them via Google Classroom. I also want to do some more work on ‘Holes’ as well as reading ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ by Michael Morpurgo, which will tie in nicely to our topic of water. We’ll be busy in science during the Summer Term, covering how humans develop to old age.
