On Friday afternoons, I am out of the classroom for Planning, Preparation and Administration time. The class will be covered by Mrs Cole for RE and Spanish.
 

SATs

The spring term is the time in year 6 when we start to prepare for the May SATs. SATs will take place between Monday 13th May 2024 – Thursday 16th May 2024 so please avoid booking any time off school during this week and in the case of illness, children are still able to sit SATs up to one week after the official SATs week. We are beginning to look at techniques and strategy in answering some of the questions – but this is being done so with a positive and upbeat attitude so we are boosting confidence and the children are responding really well to this. We are doing a little and often approach so the heart of teaching and learning remains much the same.
