Here, as Michael Rosen says, is 'the whole idiotic shebang'. Check out his FB page for detailed comments from him and others.

I suspect it is even more amusing looking at the supposed answers.

There are a few amusing comments out there from teachers reporting that children wrote "I don't see the point of SATs" when they had to use "point" as a noun in a sentence. I checked with my ds but he wasn't that witty :wink:

This is worth a read. Written by a year 6 class (with some help from a teacher I suspect).

It is a very good letter and an early lesson for the children in making their voices heard. One of the replies suggested it should be send to Nicky Morgan via an MP if she is to read it, otherwise she will not see it at all and a reply will come from one of the civil servants whose job it is to answer letters. I hope they will get their MP involved.
