We felt this was an important process for the children and in many cases were asked by the children to see what they had personally achieved. We looked at the three maths papers, the\u00a0reading paper, the punctuation and grammar paper and the spelling paper. The children had the opportunity to review their work, attempt corrections and analyse which areas needed development in order to set personal learning targets. These targets will be worked on in the coming weeks to consolidate any remaining\u00a0misconceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Please ask your children to share their analysis with you and encourage them to practise at home\u00a0to consolidate their learning.<\/p>\n<p>Key areas for consideration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Daily reading &#8211; reading a range of non-fiction, fiction and poetry to develop vocabulary and sentence structure as well as creative thinking.<\/li>\n<li>Practising challenging\u00a0key maths\u00a0areas \u00a0&#8211; Formal written methods in addition, subtraction, division, multiplication (times tables upto 12&#215;12), fractions, measures, time and multi-step problems.<\/li>\n<li>Written work &#8211; editing for correct punctuation, effective language choices and correct spelling (key words as well as Year 5 and 6 words).

All of the St Peter&#8217;s community have sent prayers, love and good wishes to her. The children each made personal cards for her today which were delivered to her this afternoon. She, her husband and\u00a0their family\u00a0have been\u00a0remembered in our prayers at St Peter&#8217;s and I am sure will also be remembered\u00a0in yours.<\/p>\n<p>Have a lovely weekend,<\/p>\n<p>The Year 6 Team<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear all, This week we have\u00a0been sharing\u00a0the results of the recent\u00a0mock &#8211;\u00a0SATs with the children.
