So proud of our Year 6 crew! They have smashed their SPaG!

23rd February 2026Miss Blackham

All children have made progress in SPaG from autumn term to now and this is a testament to their hard work and courage. We have some super quick fixes to help secure our knowledge.

Please use the links below to support your revision at home:

Your child also has a SPaG revision book, please ensure they are completing at least three pages a week in these books as this not only supports consolidating their learning but it also prepares them as they transition to secondary.

Some children will have some extra resources to support them at home.

Thank you so much for your continued support. We really appreciate it and are so proud of our Year 6’s!

Writing superstars

11th February 2026Miss Blackham


6L have worked really hard during this cycle of writing. Our end piece has been to produce a witness statement based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears, from the perspective of one of the characters. Children have shown courage during their speaking and listening sessions- pretending to be in a police interview as one of the characters. They have then really embraced the new editing and improving sessions and have shown really good craftsmanship and quality by using the editing stations to make their final piece even better! Keep up the fantastic work 6L, I’m looking forward to reading your final pieces.

Smashing our editing and improving stations in 6B. A great example of craftsmanship and quality in our writing!

9th February 2026Miss Blackham

These superstars have blown me away this morning. They have smashed their editing stations and really have produced some high-quality writing. The children had to write their examples under the feature headings around the room to help them identify which features they had used and which ones they had missed whilst also looking at models of those features. This then helped 6B identify the features in their writing and accurately mark their success criteria. I have never see so many- purposeful- relative clauses, subordinating and coordinating conjunctions and examples of parentheses! The editing stations have really allowed the children to reflect about their writing and how they can advance the action by up-levelling their writing and using Year 5/6 features to achieve this.

A great example of using craftsmanship and quality in their writing! I am so proud!
