@Mr_AlmondED @MissSDoherty Huge congratulations!! ❤️

[Sarah Farrell @SarahFarrellKS2]

I nearly always see a couple of these Queen Elizabeth books whenever I go into charity shops, but this must be a record number!

@gibbins_kim Technically, ‘across’ is an adverb here as it isn’t followed by a noun or noun phrase). ‘Over’ is a preposition because it is followed by a noun phrase. So in-depth!

[Sarah Farrell @SarahFarrellKS2]

This was a horrible question in the KS2 GPS paper!

[Sarah Farrell @SarahFarrellKS2]

@MrHteaching That’s true. It just feels like it requires such a deep level of understanding that really isn’t needed in primary school.

[Sarah Farrell @SarahFarrellKS2]

Now that we can talk about the 2026 SATs papers, here are my thoughts on the maths papers. In general, I thought that there were a lot of good, fair questions. Lots of ratio and shape!

@TsuiAllen Hello! Yes, of course :)

If you work in a 2-form (or more) entry school, how do your classes work?

Do the classes change or stay the same? Don’t class teachers make the new lists? Do they know who the new class teachers or not? Do you ask for children input or not?

[Sarah Farrell @SarahFarrellKS2]

Do the current class teachers know who the new class teachers will be before they do the class lists?

[Sarah Farrell @SarahFarrellKS2]

Do you ask children to provide the names of a few friends they’d like to be with (but not promise that they’ll definitely be with them).

[Sarah Farrell @SarahFarrellKS2]

I did it!

Question for teachers who work in schools that do Talk 4 Writing:

Are you able to memorise each text? Is it a non-negotiable that you know it by heart?

What about staff who only work part time and so are not reciting the text as often?

I’m curious to know how you find it.

[Sarah Farrell @SarahFarrellKS2]

How gorgeous is this writing about Endermen that my 5yo has been doing this week?
We’ve sat together most evenings to do a sentence and I now know much more about Endermen than I did before!
