SATs Revision Resources

 

These are a bank of resources that you can use as much or as little as you would like.
Regular revision in short bursts - little and often - is a really effective way to keep your mind ticking over and prepare you for your SATs in May (11th - 14th May 2026). 
I have attached resources to help with your GPS (grammar, spelling and punctuation), reading, arithmetic and reasoning, but you can also buy your own resources from book shops if you prefer to use a work book. This is not intended as homework but as an opportunity to do some extra preparation if you would like to do some.

There is a bank of revision tasks that can be accessed online.

Current Learning

 

Our topic for Term 4 continues to be: "How human decision affect the world."

We will be moving onto a history focus this term, learning about slavery so that the children know what it is, how it affected those involved and how it was eventually abolished. We will look closely at the slave trade triangle, the conditions that the slaves lived in and the unethical motivation of the slave traders. Towards the end of the term, we will compare this to life in Victorian Britain during this period of history so that we can gain a sense of global perspective. 

We are very lucky to  have a full day interactive theatre workshop booked (Konflux Theatre company), creating a play in day to present to parents about the theme of Black History. 

I would encourage you to look at the following links to prepare you for the upcoming term:
