Some parents and children have asked for practice papers to work on over the Easter holiday. As teachers, we feel this is a good idea as it keeps their learning fresh in their mind. SATs are only two weeks after the Easter break.
There is a lot of work there so please do not attempt it all in one go. The reading paper could be done in three 20 minute parts spread over the 2 weeks or attempted in one hour to get a sense of the timing constraints.
There are two short grammar papers- maybe try one a week?
There are some maths reasoning papers which should be completed in 40 minutes. We have also included an arithmetic paper which they love!
Children may want to work through some of these papers with an adult or prefer to attempt them independently. We have asked the children to circle any questions they are struggling with because as they know, it is the ones that they get wrong that interest us because we can focus on these in class or on a one to one. All the papers ae marked and their results are shared with the children.
We appreciate some of you may have busy holidays planned, but it would be great if they could complete some of the papers – particularly those that they struggle with.
We wish you all a happy Easter.
Mrs Benson and Mrs Bernasconi
