DD is so bored in Year 6. She's still learning new things in history and geography, but she's totally peed off with the amount of revision of easy topics - 2 hours of commas this week in English, no extension activities - they're doing in core subjects.
She says many lessons have just consisted of revising/copying things down from the board for weeks now. School is pushing extra maths and English lessons and has been for months now - all to do better in SATs. Argh! (She's level 6 in maths, English and science and up to now school has been good. But this year they've just lost the plot.)
She is bored and frustrated. And I'm cross that Year 6 is being wasted! From a teacher's point of view, how hard are you pressured to gets kids to do well in SATs?
What should I do? Wait until after SATs? Contact the school and express my frustration? Anything else? Thank you.

Could I ask you lovely teachers about Year 6 and SATS preparation?
