KS2 SATS underway
I asked my son how the tests had gone today and was pleased to hear that that they were "fine, much better than the practices" until he added "because I know I don't have to go over them afterwards and see all the mistakes I made"!

Oh, my. I think that my son has the same feelings about it as well. Seriously however, he found the science tests yesterday much easier than he expected, and finished a lot earlier so had lots of time to double-check for mistakes. Today is his favourite, writing and spelling but tomorrow is his dreaded, comprehension where he never manages to finish on time (apparently precise and concise are not two words he is very familar with).Appeal Mum wrote:LOL.. That is hilarious!

My little man said that there were questions in the science papers that they had not covered in the syllabus. Whether this is because he changed schools in Yr 6 and this school covered it in Yr5 and his old school was leaving this part of the syllabus to Yr6 I am not sure, but to say the least he was somewhat concerned!

Yes, it is England-wide. Mine had exactly the same as the one you described above.Appeal Mum wrote:Is the whole of England's SATs papers the same?
My daughter had a short paper on the beginning of a mystery story and a longer paper composing an environment leaflet.
Was everybody’s the same? Or is it done per county?
All the best,

Year 4 son was complaining yesterday that we were all more concerned about year 6 daughter's SATs than his school exams.
Year 6 daughter just wants to get to the end, as they have spent so long revising and doing past papers. She's getting bored, and is looking forward to moving on to some new topics. I don't know how much new work they will actually do in the rest of the year as it seems it will be taken up with the Year 6 week away, and the Year 6 Summer production. I suppose the week away will lead to some new science and geography topic work. At least she keeps reading!
