SATs week

To all my Year Sixes,

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 this year in schools.

 

For some of you, happiness and 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 time 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 by 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 so incredibly far,

We don’t need a test to see how amazing you are!

 

Miss you all lots, stay safe and happy,

lots of love from 

Mrs Evans and Mrs Stanley xxx
