A conversion table will be used to translate raw scores into scaled scores.

Types of text: story/report/diary/web pages/journal/letters/comic strip/advertisements Types of questions could include: inference/deduction/understanding interpret/ explain/comment writer’s viewpoint, purpose or use of language/structure and organisation of the text

Examiners are looking for: Pupils who can: Infer and deduce Follow instructions Use varied/technical vocabulary Write in the required style/genre Write in full sentences with a good range of punctuation/appropriate sentence length Write with a clear viewpoint

Grammar and Punctuation Test Areas to be tested: Word classes – nouns, adjectives, articles etc Features of sentences – statements, commands, questions Complex sentences – clauses, subordinating connectives Standard English – tenses, I and me, contractions Vocabulary – synonyms, antonyms, word meanings, prefixes and suffixes, singular and plural Punctuation – capital letters, commas, inverted commas, apostrophes, ellipsis, colons etc.

Spelling Test 20 sentences with words to fill in: We sat at the table to eat our ________ (dinner) The plants _______ butterflies (attracted) The dancers’ movements were _____ (synchronised) Previous spellings include: intelligent dangerous characters scales breathe islands extinct supreme associated

This will be moderated internally, by other local schools and possibly by an external moderator. The range of styles include: Narrative, Poetry, Recount, Report, Instruction, Procedure, Explanation, Persuasion, Argument

Ways to help at home - Reading Read a range of non-fiction and fiction texts – identify the features of the texts. Listen to your child read – use the planner. Ask questions about their reading. Find different types of texts in your home. Talk about WHO they are written for / WHY they have been written / WHAT style has been used / WHEN the text style is used / WHERE these texts are found / HOW the texts have been organised.

Ways to help at home - Spelling Post-its Spelling rules Point out spellings around the house/in shops/on outings When listening to your child read, point out certain spellings Diaries– write down the spelling of new words / learn the meaning of these words Note words and their spellings in the context of the sentences Use of Spellodrome

Ways to help at home - writing Vary sentence structure Begin sentences with different words Use a variety of punctuation Use a topic sentence to begin paragraphs Encourage description and expand detail

Maths Three Parts: Paper 1 Arithmetic 30 minutes. 36 questions worth a total of 40 points. Paper 2 & 3 Reasoning 40 minutes each. worth a total of 35 points each.

Maths Paper 1 - Arithmetic

Maths Papers 2 and 3 - Reasoning

Maths Papers 2 and 3 - Reasoning

Maths Papers 2 and 3 - Reasoning

Maths – Style of papers Children are familiar with the style of papers from their time in Year 5 In lessons, children will continue to use questions from papers to practice the skills they are learning Children will complete assessments in January and March to ensure they are prepared

Ways to help at home - Maths One of the most important ways is to sit down and talk to your child: Discuss what they have been doing in each Maths lesson. Ask them to explain. Go through their homework tasks with them. If they can do the work independently then go through it with them afterwards, discussing how they did it and identify any mistakes. (Either explain the work to your child or ask them to see their teacher) Be careful with Calculation Methods – some pupils will be using informal methods – ask your child to explain the method they use. The school calculation policy shows the preferred methods.

Ways to help at home - Maths Many questions involve solving a problem and working in context. Ask questions about the world around them, involving: telling the time, differences in time, reading bus and train timetables, T.V schedules, cooking times, 12 and 24hr clock etc. measuring, estimating, checking – length, area, capacity/volume, mass/weight, temperature (positive/negative), angles etc. money, shopping bills, change, tickets etc. working out fractions and percentage of quantities
