Year 6 bored in school

[Caravansandfestivals]

Does anyone else have a year 6 child suddenly bored in school? He’s always been an enthusiastic learner who loves school. Also working beyond the expectations for his age. This has been going on for a few months. Is this quite normal for a child a few months away from starting secondary school? Planning to speak to school at parents evening soon but just wondered if anyone had similar experiences

Are they doing lots of SATs practice? It is quite a boring year but would still talk to the teacher about it.

He should be getting ready for Sat's soon so won't be so bored then hopefully. I think after Sat's is when them get bored.

Thanks both. In wales so don’t have SATs (but they do equivalent tests).
he has mentioned he’s fed up with soooo much numeracy and literacy and wants the variety of secondary school so maybe that’s it.

Year 6 is boring. It's all SATs practice. And if he's above age related he will know it all already and not have much attention paid to him, because he's a definite pass.

Also yes they do start to grow out of primary school at this age, but I think the other problem is bigger.

he did mention the other day that they had been shown an alternative method for multiplication which he found super boring cos he already knows how to do that with the first method shown. So maybe it’s this kind of thing that’s getting to him. I’m just concerned that it’s getting him down so much (tears on a Sunday night) and that it will chip away at his usual enthusiasm. I have tried to tell him that dealing with being bored is an important life skill but do feel I need to do more
