Things to Remember

 Children need to bring in a named water bottle every day and if they would like to, they may bring in a piece of fruit for a snack at playtime. 

 

Year 6 have a PE lesson each Wednesday. We ask that children wear PE kits to school on this day.

 

 Home Learning

Throughout their time in Year 6, children are expected to engage in a variety of home learning activities which support them in knowing more and remembering more of the content we teach. It is also an opportunity for our pupils to develop their independent study skills in preparation for secondary school.

 

The children will be set English and Maths tasks every week on Friday, which will need to be completed in their English Home Learning Book and their Maths and Grammar CGP books. Every week, the English task will be to practise 10 spelling words. These books will need to be returned to school by the following Thursday.  

 

We believe reading is the most important skill children learn during their time with us. In Year 6, we expect children to read regularly. Each child will receive a Reading Journal to promote reading for pleasure, as well as supporting progression in reading. These are child centred and should be completed by the child. Children can note down how many minutes and pages they have read too. Teachers will check these regularly during Reading Journal time each week.

 

Children will also have access to the online learning platform Times Tables Rock Stars, which they can complete in their own time.  

 

 SATs

At the end of Year 6, children are assessed in a series of tests known as SATs. In May 2025, Year 6 pupils will complete separate tests covering topics taught in English and Maths during their time in KS2 (Y3-6). These will begin on Monday 12^th May 2025 and will end on Thursday 15^th May 2025. The tests include:

 

Maths:

Paper 1- Arithmetic.

This paper looks at children's ability to answer of range of questions, often using formal written methods.

 

Paper 2 and 3 – Reasoning

These papers require children to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems.

 

English:

Reading Paper

Children will be given three extracts from texts and will be expected to answer a range of questions which show their comprehension skills.

 

Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar: Paper 1 and Paper 2

Children will sit a paper testing their understanding of spelling, punctuation and grammar from KS2 and will also complete a spelling test consisting of 20 words.

 

As the year progresses, children may bring home study books/packs to help consolidate their learning, as well as providing important preparation for their SATs in May.
