Year 6 SATs Meeting 12th November 2015

Changes to KS2 SATs in 2016 In the summer term of 2016, children in Year 6 will be the first to take the new SATs papers. Children will be tested in three areas: - Reading Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS) Maths These will test content from the New National curriculum and will be marked externally.

How will these test results be reported? Your child will be given a raw score (the actual number of marks they get), alongside their scaled score and whether they have reached the national average.  Reading out of 50. GPS out of 70. Maths out of 110. This raw score will be converted into a scaled score . A standard setting exercise will be conducted on the first live test in 2016 to determine the scaled score needed for a pupil to be considered to have met the standard within subjects and your child will be told if they have met the standard required in each subject.

Reading

Key Stage 2 Reading The reading test will provisionally be a single paper with questions based on three texts, which increase in complexity. Your child will have one hour, including reading time, to complete the test. There will be a selection of question types, including: Ranking/ordering, e.g. ‘Number the events below to show the order in which they happen in the story’  Labelling, e.g. ‘Label the text to show the title of the story’  Find and copy, e.g. ‘Find and copy one word that suggests what the weather is like in the story’  Short constructed response, e.g. ‘What does the bear eat?’  Open-ended response, e.g. ‘Look at the sentence that begins Once upon a time. How does the writer increase the tension throughout this paragraph? Explain fully, referring to the text in your answer.’ 

What content will be tested? Give/explain the meaning of words in context. Retrieve and record information / identify key details from fiction and non- fiction. Summarise main ideas from more than one paragraph. Make inferences from the text/ explain and justify inferences with evidence from the text. 2e 2f 2g 2h Predict what may happen from details stated and implied. Identify/explain how information/ narrative content is related and contributes to meaning as a whole. Identify/explain how meaning is enhanced through choice of words and phrases. Make comparisons within the text.

KS2 GPS There will be two papers to test: Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling . -Paper 1: Grammar, Punctuation and Vocabulary (45 minutes). -Paper 2: Spelling test. There will be a selection of question types, exploring: Selected response, e.g. ‘Identify the adjectives in the sentence below’ Constructed response, e.g. ‘Correct/complete/rewrite the sentence below,’ or, ‘The sentence below has an apostrophe missing. Explain why it needs an apostrophe.’

What’s tested?

Examples of Spelling which might be tested

Maths There will be three papers -Paper 1: Arithmetic (30 minutes). -Paper 2: Reasoning (40 minutes). -Paper 3:Reasoning (40 minutes).

Maths content to be assessed

Assessment content per paper

Common errors Missing out the correct unit of measurement in the answer General presentation – final answer not being clear Numbers not clearly formed e.g. ‘0’ looking like a ‘6’ Decimal points – missing them out or making them look like a comma 2 step problems – make sure children follow the whole question through Recording the monetary values incorrectly e.g. must be £8.90 not £8.9

What are we doing in school to help children prepare? Practice questions during lessons Intervention groups Individual target work Wide variety of writing opportunities Mathletics Having FUN!

What percentage of a child’s year is spent in school?

17%

How can you help at home?   Read with your child. Discuss the meaning of the text. Talk about why the character has acted in a particular way. Do they like the book? Why or why not? Talk about what you are reading as well (if appropriate). Keep practising times tables at any available time – in the queue at the supermarket, in a traffic jam etc. Also practise division facts from the times tables e.g. 2x5 =10 so10÷2= 5, then move onto decimal facts e.g 0.2x 7=1.4. Practise using maths in real-life situations e.g. reading timetables, money (how much change will you get?), telling the time with analogue as well as digital clocks, converting from 12 hour to 24 hour time and working out the duration of events.

Ensure your child arrives on time and with all the equipment he/she needs throughout Year 6. This will also prepare them well for secondary school. Encourage your child to go on a variety of websites to aid and consolidate their learning. For example: www.bbc.co.uk/revisewise has activities and information for revising Maths and English.   Monitor their homework; make sure they hand it in on time. If your child has not understood what they need to do and you are unsure how best to explain, get them to ask the teacher as soon as possible.
