Year+6+Revision


 * Remember not to worry about your SAT tests. All you have to do is to try your best!**

These websites will help you to revise topics that you need some practice on:

[|SAM Learning] - The Centre ID is: BS13BC. Your username and password are your date of birth and initials (e.g. 300496AB) You will get certificates in assembly when you have completed at least 2 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours and 15 hours - aim to complete at least 10 hours before the SATs tests. [|BBC ReviseWise] http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/games/questionaut/ - A slightly surreal game in which you visit strange lands. First you have to solve the puzzle by clicking on objects, then the person on each planet will ask you questions about English, Maths and Science. For example, when you get to the second planet, turn off the light to make the man stop reading. [|Woodlands] - This site has interactive tests / quizzes and examples of SATs questions [] - A great site for science

If you do not have internet access at home, Miss Knight will be making the ICT suite available for Year 6 pupils most Tuesdays from January until May.

__**At home**__ Homework will be particularly important in the weeks leading up to the SATs. Each week you will get English and Maths homework to complete over the following week. Try to spread out the work so that you do a little bit each day, rather than leaving it all till the last minute!

Look under each subject in the menu on the left to find links that will also help you to revise.

We will be using the SAT Attack scheme for English and Maths revision. You will each have a Maths revision manual - either 'Core' (if you are aiming for level 3/4) or 'Challenge' (if you are aiming for level 4/5). Each day, you will complete a short mental maths test (6 questions) and answer 6 questions, which are similar to those asked in the SATs. There will also be an extension task to complete if you finish the page. Each week, one of your pieces of homework will be a 'Weekly Review' which will give you further examples of the types of questions we have looked at that week.

You will have two English booklets - one with lots of different texts and a revision manual - either 'Core' or 'Challenge'. Each day, you will read a short text (one or two pages) and either answer some questions about it or do a piece of writing.
