Year 6 Easter Revision Pack

 

Dear Year 6 Parents and Carers,

As we head into the Easter holidays, I just wanted to say a huge well done to all our Year 6 children for the effort, focus and positivity they’ve shown this term. We’re incredibly proud of how they’re rising to the challenge of Year 6 — and how they’re preparing for their SATs in May.

To help keep things fresh in their minds over the break, your child is bringing home an Easter SATs Revision Pack. This includes:

• A CGP Reading Comprehension Booklet – it would be great if they could complete at least three practice tests over the holidays. Spreading them out and chatting about answers afterwards can really help build confidence.
• A Maths Revision Fact Sheets – with key skills and facts to work on. These short tasks will help keep their number knowledge sharp.
• Their CGP SPaG Book – we suggest they choose a few areas where they feel less confident and focus on those topics/pages. A little targeted revision will go a long way.

The aim isn’t to overload them — just to keep things ticking over and help them feel as calm and prepared as possible when they return. We completely understand that holidays are also for resting, recharging, and spending time together — so please encourage your child to find a balance that works for them.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Wishing you a restful and happy Easter break — and we look forward to seeing the children back, ready for their final stretch of primary school!

 

Reminders 

 

PE Kit

Please make sure you wear your PE kit on Monday and Wednesday so you are ready for our lessons. 

Your kit should include dark bottoms and a plain white t-shirt (or one with the school logo if you prefer).

 

Homework

There will be a significant 'step-up' in terms of homework expectations this term. A grammar and punctuation focus will be given each week by Mrs MacRae. This will be linked to our learning in school will be completed in CGP books. Maths homework will be set by Mr McLaren and will need to be completed online, using 'Mathletics'. Log-ins will be stuck into homework diaries. Spellings are linked to spelling shed and a homework sheet with spellings for the term will be sent out during the first week back. This can also be found further down this Year 6 class page.  

 

As well as Grammar, Maths and Spellings, children should continue to read regularly at home. We expect children to read for 45 minutes at least 5 times during the week. 

 

Homework Club is held at lunch time on Wednesday if you need a quiet space or support.

 

Finally, there is an optional Pick 'n' Mix selection of activities to complete at home. If you complete any of these activities then please do share your work with us; we'd love to see it and celebrate your efforts. 

 

Snacks

We would encourage you to bring a healthy snack for break times. Our mornings sessions are long and you need to keep your energy levels up!
