13 Reading Test 1 hour to read the texts and answer the questions – 50 marks. Children have to manage their own time. No support is given for reading- other than children who can have a scribe Questions test: information retrieval, inference and deduction. Some answers require longer explanations.

14 READING PAPER TOP TIPS Answer the RIGHT there questions first – usually the circle / join up or 1 point questions.

15 READING PAPER TOP TIPS Read the questions carefully – if it says tick three then TICK 3!!!!!!!!!

16 READING PAPER TOP TIPS If it says find and copy – a word or phrase – DO JUST THAT ( but NOT the whole sentence) excel better than anyone expected

17 READING PAPER TOP TIPS 1.If it asks for your opinion on something – make it up as long as you can link it to the text! Opinion Answer Because I think it would be fun trying to pluck the string and make them sound like a person’s voice. To save time I started with because as I’d already ticked the drum so the marker knew what I was talking about! I hate drumming – I just made up an answer linked to what it said in the paragraph!

18 READING PAPER TOP TIPS 3 point questions – Write your answer and make sure you use the word BECAUSE to explain it! Try to think of 3 different points if possible. If you make different points – make sure you bullet point them. 15. Some people think that Pliny’s uncle was a brave but foolish leader. What do you think? Brave foolish brave and foolish Explain your answer using parts of the information to help you.

29 The test is 45 minutes long. It is made up of about 46 multiple choice and short answer questions. The test is marked externally. The children will be given a raw score for this.

30 Writing Writing is assessed throughout the year. Each teacher builds up a writing portfolio which builds a picture of each child’s writing throughout the year. There is no longer one piece each term which is assessed- the children are being assessed constantly throughout the year through the work they are achieving within lessons.

31 Writing groups 9 weeks before SATS we set across the year group, focusing the children more carefully for writing. This will target children for band 6 Groups will have LSAs deployed for specific needs.

32 How important are the SATS? We report a teacher assessment band also. The results are reported to you and to the secondary schools. Secondary schools also have the raw scores.

33 What can I do to help? Keep reading daily. BBC revisewise key stage 2 Mathletics Woodlands website Emaths old papers – not 2014/2015/Sample please! Keep them calm!
