SATs Help
SATs are part of our normal assessment procedure and hopefully, the children will not feel an undue amount of pressure or stress. However, some children are very excited for SATs and see this as a rite of passage ready to move on to secondary school.
If your child would like to revise, these sites have proved very popular with the children.
This is where children practise thier weekly spellings. Alongside this, they can practise all the spellings from the Year 5/6 list and access Grammar Arcade where they can revise all the content needed for the SATs grammar paper.
Revision guides for all areas and the brilliant Crystal Explorers game.
Revision guides for maths and our favourite game; Guardians: Defenders of Mathematica.
