I know levels don't exist exactly but I'm worried about ds's writing. He isn't 7 until June so a summer born and he has had very bad problems with his vision (partially sighted in one eye, other eye less affected but not brilliant) and is left handed. All of these things have meant his handwriting isn't great. It's legible but still big and it's nowhere near as neat as many of his classmates. As I understand it this means he will be stuck in the bottom assessment tier at sats because handwriting now counts for a lot. His teacher is going to see if she can get less weight put on the handwriting in ds's case because she says - handwriting aside - he should be in the top band. I'm not so sure... He wrote this independently this morning:
The Sports Aliens
A 100 miles away the Sport Aliens were playing goo ball. 1-0 2-1 4-3 went the scores. At full time gall city had 5 and hands team had 6. Hurray! went the crowd.
Chapter 2
The next game of the FA cup started. Let the game commense said the ref named Gong. It was the Heppees vs the Hangwaars. Peep! went the wisel. Pass hit throw shoot save hit! The Hangwaars were up 1-0 but the Heepees shot and and scored!
Chapter 3
Half time. When they got back on the pitch the Heepees played well but the Hangwaars won 18-15. They were given the golden cup. They were delighted but the Heepees were very upset. "Grang" they said.
PS grang means oh poo in alien speek.
I'd say this is average / below average even without the handwriting?
