Sats week

Dear Parents
Well- after what seems like a lifetime of preparation SATs week is finally here. Mrs Clarke and I are confident that the children have been taught all the skills they will need to do themselves justice in the tests. They have worked extremely hard even though some of the revision lessons have been a bit dry and boring! We are very proud of their achievements and the progress they have made. They have been a super class to work with. As a reward for their efforts we have promised a post SATs party next Friday afternoon so they will be asking for some food or drink to bring to that please.
Timetable for next week
Sunday-Read thru science Really Useful Words from your revision pack
Monday-2 Science papers (read thru Top Tips for Writing in the evening)
Tuesday-2Writing papers+Spelling (read thru Reading Comprehension in the evening)
Wednesday-Reading Comprehension paper (read thru Maths Glossary and run thru any times tables you are not so good at in the evening)
Thursday-Maths Paper A+ Mental Maths (read thru maths glossary in the evening)
Friday-Maths Paper B (get a treat in the evening!)

How you can help
Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep this weekend and next week.
Make sure your child has a good breakfast in the mornings.
Help with the 30 minutes or so revision outlined for each evening.
Give lots of reassurance that you are proud of them no matter what.
Make sure that they get to school calmly and in plenty of time.


Thank you for your help with this and for all your support during the year.
Mrs Carroll and Mrs Clarke
