REMEMBER, SATS ONLY TEST TWO SUBJECTS…
At the moment, you’re doing a lot of English and Maths, but never forget you’ve got lots of other skills too. SATs don’t test these skills. Skills like whether you’re a creative person, good at I.T. or brilliant with pets and animals. They don’t test your speaking skills or whether you’re fantastic at making or mending things. They don’t measure whether you’re arty or sporty, a musician or someone who is really kind and cares for other people. They don’t test whether you are a hard worker, a good team player or someone who always has a good sense of humour. Although subjects like Maths and English are important, never forget you are a very special and unique person who has been blessed with talents in plenty of other areas too. I know that when you move on from St Mary Magdalen’s RC Primary you will be a real asset to your new schools. We wish you the best of luck this week in your tests – We are all very proud of you!
