Silly SATsDay 2

Last week, was when you would have taken your Year 6 SATs if we were in school. We are sure that there are lots of mixed emotions about this as we know how very hard you have worked since September. To mark the occasion, a teacher in another school has made some Year 6 Silly SATs. The questions and answers are fun (some impossible!) so will hopefully make you and your parents chuckle. We have included them in this week’s home-learning as an optional extra, but you could do them at any time over the next few weeks if you have the opportunity.
