GPS

Until the SATS, the Year 6 pupils are doing GPS (Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling) a little differently.  Usually, GPS would only be ONCE a week, but now the Year 6s do it every day, and not as they used to!

They would normally get into their assigned groups, and move around tables completing sheets, and maybe watch a clip.  But now, they still might watch a clip, but they now do a 10 minute SATs style test - to start – followed by a presentation on a topic, e.g. Phrases, Active and Passive Voices, Apostrophes for Omission and Possession etc.  To end the session the children do an activity. 

As said earlier, this will continue until the SATS are over.
