Friday 8th March

Dear year 6 parents,

Instead of homework this week, we ask that pupils spend time looking through the practise SATS papers they completed last week with an adult at home. Along with the marked papers, all pupils should have the associated mark schemes. May we remind you that every year 6 pupil has been given a free online account to access a very effective revision tool for: reading, SPaG and maths: www.satscompanion.co.uk

At this point in the year, we were looking for pupils to achieve the following scores to be deemed “on track” to be at age-related (pass) by May 2024:

• Reading: 25/50 ‘pass’ or for Greater Depth (GD): 38/50 [actual pass score:29 or GD:41]
• SPaG: 31/70 ‘pass’ or for Greater Depth: 51/70 [actual pass score: 35 or GD 55]
• Maths: 49/110 ‘pass’ or for Greater Depth: 91/110 [actual pass score: 58 or GD 96]

We were so impressed with how well the year 6 pupils conducted themselves throughout last week. We hope pupils found the week useful and that the experience has alleviated some worries or concerns they had about SATs week.

SATS week next year is WC Monday 13^th May 2024.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Year 6 teachers.

Friday 1st December 2023

NO REGULAR SPELLINGS AND HOMEWORK THIS WEEK.

The children worked hard on their assessments last week and we are sending them home.  You will find their completed, marked papers and the mark schemes to accompany them. We would like pupils to spend some time reviewing their answers (ideally with someone at home if possible please). Pupils have been given SATs Companion log ins. Homework time should be spent this week looking through the papers and working on the areas that the children have identified they could benefit from developing. We do not need the papers back.

Thank you for your on-going support.

Please see info below re: our SATs parents workshop in January.

Yr6 Parents: please be advised that the satscompanion.co.uk log in letters that were sent home are for pupils to use at home IF YOU SO WISH. The website is an effective revision tool that is FREE to use. There are video tutorials, lessons, quizzes and practise test questions for: reading, spelling, punctuation, grammar, maths (and even science). We use this to set activities and tasks in school - if we ever set tasks to do at home, we will state on this homework page. Thank you.

Please ask your child's teacher if you need a new letter/log in reminder.

NB: Weds 10th Jan 2024 9am- YR6 parent SATS workshop in the main hall. However, for those who cannot make this, we will be posting the PowerPoint with all the key/relevant information on this page of the website.

For their healthy packed lunch ingredients (see homework sheet ABOVE) - please ensure none of the ingredients contain nuts (and of course, no chocolate bars, sweets or fizzy drinks please). 

No homework set over half term for year 6.
