Year 6 SATS - Tuesday 9th - Friday 12th May 

Year 6 SATs will take place next week. 

A Huge well done to all the Year 6's and the hard work they have put in over the last few weeks of term. You have all showed us your best effort and concentration. You've all done everything you can and now it's time to show off what you can do. Enjoy your long weekend, relax and get an early bedtime on Monday night! 

The timetable for the week is as follows: 

• Tuesday 9th May - English grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) papers 1 (questions)  and 2 (spelling)

• Wednesday 10th May - English reading paper 

• Thursday 11th May - Mathematics papers 1 (arithmetic) and 2 (reasoning) 

• Friday 12th May - Mathematics paper 3 (reasoning)

This is a very important week for our pupils and it is essential that children attend school every day in order to sit their tests. Unless a child is unwell, children not attending school will not be able to sit these assessments, that they have worked so hard to prepare for. 

A free breakfast will be available to all children during this week so all children are invited to join us in Breakfast Club from 8am to ensure they are in school on time and have a positive start to the day. 

We would like to remind parents about the importance of your child knowing their times tables! 

Times table knowledge not only supports your child's ability to calculate quickly, but in addition, supports other topics in maths such as fractions, calculating area and problem solving. 

Here are some ways to help your child practice and improve their times tables: 

Download the 1 minute app 

Yes just one minute! This is for children who are still learning their tables. There is a wall chart to go with this so please feel free to ask the school to print it for you.

All children could use this to practice their times tables recall for all of the tables
