We have
interviewed
children from Shakespeare Primary school in Year 6 to see how they
feel about taking their SATs. We asked them if they were nervous,
if they thought the teachers were nervous, how much revision they
had done and whether they thought that SATs are important.
We
have interviewed people before, during and after the SATs which
lasted for five days in May. Year 6 children across the country
were tested in Maths, English and Science. Their results will be
looked at by High School teachers who will then put them into 'ability'
groups, so that means the tests are important to us - the children.
We
asked two Year 6 children how they felt about the SATs. They said
that their results were very important to them and that they would
like to get the best level that they can. "It's important to
do well in your SATs so that you get off to a good start at your
High school", said one year 6 boy.
 On
Monday the children had both of their Science SATs papers and throughout
the week they went on to have their Reading, Writing, Spelling and
Maths tests. Some children were able to use computers for writing,
if they were able to use a keyboard better than a pencil.
We
asked Nikki which her favourite subject is and which SATs paper
she felt most comfortable doing.
She
said, "Well, I think I'm good at English and I really enjoy
writing stories and reports and other pieces of writing, so I'll
do really well at that, but with Science you're not quite sure what
the questions are going to be, so I'm a bit nervous about those
tests."
The
writing paper was on the Tuesday, so good luck for Nikki and all
who have taken their tests!
If
you're in Year 5 and have any questions about next year's SATs,
Year 6 will be glad to answer them. Just e-mail Alex McGregor on
alex.mcgregor@bbc.co.uk
and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
