Year 6 teacher trying not to let SATs take over completely

[Chloe R @ChloeGPR]

Had an amazing transition morning with my new Y2s today - big change from Y6 but so excited for next year’s adventures!

Excited to be moving down to year two in September - a big change from UKS2

[Chloe R @ChloeGPR]

One highlight from this half term is my year 6’s new obsession with @MichaelRosenYes on YouTube - one video at the beginning of term has led to endless requests

@hammett_lou @_Reading_Rocks_ @booksfortopics Our year 3/4s really enjoyed doing Romeo and Juliet alongside learning about the Tudors

Proud moment today when a child from another class asked to borrow a book from my reading area because I have lots of interesting books to choose from

[Chloe R @ChloeGPR]

@MrBoothY6 @Miss_N15 Thanks for sharing this, definitely going to be trying this with my Y6s next half term

[Chloe R @ChloeGPR]

@MissONeill_ My Y5s enjoyed Varjak Paw and Boy in the Tower last year - both have lots of good opportunities for discussion too

"A 'million word gap' for children who aren’t read to at home: The fact that we had so many parents who said they never or seldom read to their kids was pretty shocking to us. We wanted to figure out what that might mean": more insights into 'the word gap' https://t.co/ON48obPjwk

In need of some inspiration - Y6 writing with ‘How the Camel got his Hump’ as a starting point...

Never underestimate the power of READING ALOUD. No technology can ever replace it. Always find the time to do it - just 10 minutes a night can change a child's life forever! #literacy

My first year teaching year six and I’m finding it increasingly frustrating that we’re having to sacrifice foundation subjects to meet arbitrary SATs targets

With Banquo too busy practising percentages, when shall my drama group meet again? asks @SteveEddison https://t.co/qsZRnP3V9R

@khviii_library I always try to build in some story time for my Y6s, even my most reluctant readers hate when it’s time to stop

[Ros Wilson @rosBIGWRITING]

So agree- it was amazing! https://t.co/ggww1Cs3s8

Survived my first residential trip with a smile! Highlights being fossil hunting and gunpowder fuelled rockets. #NQT #loveteaching

[Chloe R @ChloeGPR]

Not surprising given that y6 pupils are already worrying about taking them in the summer https://t.co/uEIKLpiw1f
