Welcome to Year 6!
The teachers in Year 6 are Miss Catchpole, Mrs Broderick, Mr Hastey & Mrs Harrison.
SATs Revision
In order to support your child at home in their SATs revision, they will have access to the online resource: SATs boot camp. Children's log in details can be found in their homework book.
Children will be set revision tasks to complete each week where they will watch a video and then have the opportunity to complete practice SATs style questions. They may also be asked to complete short practice mini-quizzes in the style of SATs questions. Exposing children to this style of questioning means that it is nothing new and children are familiar with them. If there are any areas your child is struggling with, encourage them to use the online platform to watch the video and revise.
