Welcome

Welcome to Yewlands School CLC! Sometimes it's nice to have a change of scene. This can help to boost your learning. Today we welcome Y6 representatives of Fox Hill, Mansel and St Thomas More Primary Schools. We hope you got a lot out of your Science sessions. Our focus before and after lunch will be English.
In May - the KS2 SATs will be happening across our country. Here are the dates for the English SATs:-
Tuesday May 13th:-
English Shorter Writing Task & Spelling Test
English Writing Test
Wednesday May 14th:-
English Reading Test
Now doesn't that sound like FUN!

Today we are going to do a few things that will help to boost your performance in the SATs.

We are going to start off with twenty minutes of unstructured time in which you explore the BBC's KS2 Revision site. Only explore the English section on WRITING! Click on Popeye the Sailorman (below) to get to the English section of KS2 Bitesize. Here you will find activities and guidance connected with Writing. At this stage don't look at Reading or Spelling and Grammar. Go on - EXPLORE!

After your first spell on Bitesize, we are now going to move on with a shorter writing task before exercising skills you need for The Reading Paper.
