Image of SATs Week

To 6J,

 

As SATs week arrives, it’s not quite the same,

The tests that were printed this year never came,

The displays all still up; walls full of Maths ‘rules’,

But Year 6 very different, at present, 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. 

 

Algebra, fractions, the times tables drills, 

Inference, retrieval, in-depth reading skills, 

Past, present, progressive... and all the SPaG terms, 

You’ve practised and mastered them over the years. 

 

Fear not though, the SATs, yes won’t happen this term 

But remember tests don’t measure everything you learn,

Primary subjects are varied; you’ve always tried your best

And many of those skills that you’ve gained can’t be defined as a test. 

 

So, here at St Hugh’s, 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!”

 

Still missing you all. Stay safe, 

Love from Mrs Jones & Mrs Stanley
