Year 2 Sats prep

[knackeredmumoftwo]

Hello
Can you please help settle a debate, do / did you support or prep your child for their year 2 sats?
Thanks

Do you mean practice papers at home etc? If so, no, I didn't

Nothing at all.

No

No. The children don't even know they're doing it at our school. I don't know what it involved, neither did they. Just an ordinary week at school.

No, they are just a government box ticking exercise, beyond the normal reading at home and spelling practice we did nothing for them.

Obviously I would support my child if needed but he didn't even know sats were taking place.

I supported my child last year by doing nothing, wasn't allowed practice, wasn't allowed to stay longer in school for extra tution. NADA! I really cannot get my head around doing it otherwise! It's for the government, nobody else.

No, we also weren't allowed to use the words 'test' 'exams' or 'SATS'. I thought that was the best way.

Thank you :) that's helpful

Aside from the usual homework, there was definitely no extra practice etc. I wouldn't put that on a 7yo.

My son had weekly homework that was clearly geared towards SATS, and list of words to learn. We did that with him.

But test papers or anything like that? Hell, no! He's 7!

Why would you, when the evidence for your dc' s teacher assessment comes mainly from books? Too late now!

Kids didn't even hear the term SATs... They did some special workbooks they enjoyed and that was that

My daughter had sats papers aent home months before the SATs and the children were told about the SATs.

No

Thats really sad Sunshine :( (assuming you're talking about year 2 sats? Pretty much everywhere year 6 is a write off and sats focussed but at least they're older.)
