A message from Mrs Marshall about SATs
Good Morning all
I did post a message yesterday but for some reason it hasn't appeared - I haven't forgotten you!!
This week should have been the week you all sat your SAT's tests - I for one am very sad about that as I know you have all worked very hard and you deserved an opportunity to show us that - you would have made us very proud!
However it is not to be but you should all know how proud we are of how you are working, particularly in this difficult time.
Mrs Sharma found this poem which we would like to share with you all.
Keep up the good work Year 6!!
As SATS week arrives, it is not quite the same,
The tests that were printed this year never came,
The displays are still up; walls full of maths ‘rules’,
But Year 6 is very different, right now in schools.
For some of you, happiness, lots of relief,
For others a sigh of pure disbelief,
That you worked really hard in advance of this week,
Expected and Greater Depth marks you did seek.
Place value, fractions, the times table drills,
Inference, retrieval, in-depth reading skills,
Past, present, progressive...and all the SPAG terms,
Across the subjects of many you’ve learned.
Fear not though, the SATS won’t happen this term,
Remember tests don’t measure everything you learn,
Primary subjects are varied; you’ve always tried your best,
And many of those skills you’ve gained can’t be defined by a test.
So, here at Squirrels, you’ve made us so proud,
We sit here with pride and we shout this out loud...
“Year 6 you amaze us, you’ve come incredibly far...
And we don’t need a test to see how amazing you are!”
