By the middle of year 6 children are ready to make the move up to secondary school. Having just completed their SATs and now knowing what school they are going to and who they are going with they become restless and eager for the next stage of their life.
Their behaviour in the classroom in terms of attention span seems to dwindle and they are not so interested in learning anymore. They just want to make the jump and have a great summer becoming more independent before September arrives.
