Current SATs
Ds now has completed 2nd day . Said that although they had revised 5 different writing genres none of them came up and the biography that did come up they hadn't done since beginning of Y6.
Anybody else have any views on 1st 2 days?

There is a lively debate on the TES website staffroom area:

My daughter said exactly the same thing about not having practised biography writing since the beginning of Y6. She was hoping for a news report. There was such a punishing (mostly for parents) round of entrance exams earlier on that I'm afraid sats tests are probably not being taken quite as seriously in this household as her teacher might expect. Said teacher reminds me of a coiled spring, completely obsessed by these tests and biting pupils' heads off at the slightest thing. Been building to a crescendo since Christmas, poor woman. Roll on next week.
My dd seems fine and relaxed about it all so far. She thinks she's done reasonably well, but that doesnt really mean anything!! It will be interesting to see how she scores as she hasnt completed that many 'mocks' but her results were:
English 70/100 - totally borderline 4/5
Maths 78-88/100 - reasonably solid 5
Science 56-60/80 - few points of a 5
I think with these scores it will all depend on the day!

Oh Guest55, what have you done? I've spent the whole afternoon reading your linked thread... Absolutely hilarious!!
Hope hubby & children understand lack of housework/washing/food purchasing & preparation.
The poor dog has been sitting beside me with her lead for an hour.
Looking forward to reading about the reading test tonight
Thanks!!
