SATS week is upon us…

5th May 2023Hannah McLoughlin

Dear Y6,

Well done for your hard work so far, we are extremely proud of your perseverance, resilience and positive attitude towards learning. You have tackled all the challenges presented to you with enthusiasm, and we can see that you are completely ready for the SATS tests next week.

This weekend, we want you to relax and ‘chill out’ – do something nice, enjoy time with your family, read a book, go to the cinema, eat some nice food or play out with friends. Just remember to eat well and get plenty of sleep, to laugh a lot and enjoy your long weekend!

A little reminder…

SATs don’t measure sports

SATs don’t measure art,

SAT don’t measure music,

Or the kindness in your heart.

SATs don’t see your beauty,

SATs don’t know your worth,

SATs don’t see the reasons,

You were put upon this Earth.

SATs don’t see your magic,

How you make others smile,

SATs don’t time how quickly,

You can run a mile.

SATs don’t hear your laughter,

Or see you’ve come this far,

SATs are just a tiny glimpse,

Of who you really are.

So sitting at your table,

With a pencil and your test,

Remember SATs aren’t who you are,

Remember you’re the best!

Above all, we want you to believe in yourself and know that you have done everything that you possibly can to be the very best that you can be. So now is the time to smash it because you couldn’t have worked any harder. Let’s show everyone what Y6 crew at Carcroft can do!

Good Luck,

Y6 Crew x

Crew Mcloughlin journalists🎙️📰🗞️

14th March 2023Hannah McLoughlin

Today Crew Mcloughlin have started a new genre of writing – a newspaper report, which when finished will be published onto our blog. (How exciting) 😄 We hit the ground running with experience day where we unpicked and explored real newspaper articles. We discussed the purpose of newspaper articles, reliability and features included. After we had a secure understanding of the features, we worked in mini crews to read a selection of articles around the room. We found the different features then reported back our findings to the whole crew. We then watched a clip called ’Roads End.’ This is the stimulus we will use for our own newspaper report. We found the clip very intriguing and it allowed us to be like real life journalists. We then unpicked a model text before thinking specifically about headlines. We finished our lessons today by creating our very own! There was some great use of puns and alliteration.
