Hi, ds is in yr2.

I'm just curios as to what the SATs papers/questions are like.

Is there somewhere you can download past papers?

I've never used a workbook since I've qualified! Plus I very rarely use worksheets. So that format can seem strange.
The maths test jumps around areas of study (e.g. time question, then a calculation, then a data handling).
I don't do spelling tests, so that is foreign to them (I do spellings on mini-whiteboards during phonics teaching, etc.)
The reading comprehension has a skill is how to record the answers that is different to the oral work I usually do the majority of the time.

The actual skills and knowledge in all the tests is part of normal classroom life, but the actual format of the tests isn't. Yes we make it low key, but some children really don't like change.
