A fun and engaging way to support Year 6 students in the run up to SATS. They can complete the 6 rounds of the quiz individually, in pairs or in teams. Each round has 10 questions and all answers are at the end. I’ve included a purely for fun movie round to help break up the session! Round 1 - arithmetic Round 2 - spellings Round 3 - name the movie Round 4 - punctuation and grammar Round 5 - reading comprehension Round 6 - maths reasoning (73 slides in total. Estimated time to complete = 45 minutes) These styles of quizzes have been incredibly popular with my Year 6 class and have helped to promote a lot of useful discussion around methods, pace and question types.

This Powerpoint contains five sets of song lyrics with two stages to activities for each. 1st slide = listening comprehension with words missing to be filled in. 2nd slide = comprehension questions.

I made this powerpoint following an amazing CPD session with Ashley Booth to test out with my class and they LOVED it.

It includes all pages of the first chapter, vocabulary work using pictures, Individual Thinking tasks, Partner talk and two choices for Solo Tasks. Personally, I’m going to continue using the template for my subsequent lessons and obviously you can too should you wish to!
