Well two maths down - only one test to go!! Today we’ve had Maths A and Mental Maths. The Mental Maths was quite difficult in places - having to work quickly is challenging and quite difficult for some. Paper A wasn’t bad but contained rather a lot of space and shape questions.

Emma - I thought the maths test was quite easy with some hard questions too.

Celina - So far the SAT’s have been fairly easy. Maths was easier than I thought. Some of the answers just came to me!!

Well we’re halfway through the week and we’ve only got Maths to go!! The children have been brilliant especially as many of them are full of cold. There has been lots of coughing, sneezing and snuffling!!

Today we had the Reading paper - the booklet was about Mount Vesuvius and called ‘On Dangerous Ground’ and received mixed responses. However, overall the children thought it was OK!!

Laura- I really enjoyed the paper and it was incredibly fascinating. I thought I had been well trained though as I have been watching “Roman Mysteries” which is all about the erruption of AD 79, I want a photocopy of the booklet!

Sarah- I thought that it was a really interesting subject to have for our reading test. I thoroughly enjoyed the paper.
