Welcome back to a new term and your child’s final term at Goldthorn Park before moving on to your new schools. We hope you have had a lovely Easter spending time with your families! We have a busy term ahead of us, so we hope that the children are well rested and ready to show their best learning! The first weeks back we will be continuing our preparations for the SATs tests. This will include teaching test skills and using past test questions to develop children’s confidence in order for them to achieve their very best. We will also continue to focus on developing our writing skills across a range of texts including short stories, persuasive texts and letters.
For more details about our learning this term, please see the Curriculum Overview.
SATs will take place the week beginning Monday 11th May 2026 - it is vital that children attend school this week and do not miss the tests. We will be running a breakfast club for all Year 6 children during the week of SATs in the school hall, where breakfast and juice will be provided as we find this helps children to relax and prepare for the day’s tests with their friends. Below is a list of the days that the children will undertake the tests:
P.E
Class 13 – Thursday Week A and Wednesday Week B
Class 14 – Thursday Week A and Thursday Week B
(Please remember to have your outdoor PE kit consisting of: jogging bottoms, outdoor trainers and a jumper/jacket. Also a reminder that jewellery must not be worn during PE lessons.)
After SATs, we will continue with our writing and other areas of learning which will also include activities to build resilience, teamwork and cooperation, to prepare the children for secondary school.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the year 6 team via class dojo.
