Dear Year 6 children and families,
I would normally be handing you a good luck card today with the following poem in; as we are not together, or even facing our SATs that we’ve worked so hard for, I still wanted to share my heartfelt thoughts and feelings with each of you.
I know some are you are relieved and some of you are disappointed that we’re not sitting our tests next week but the following words are more important than ever in these unusual times.
SATs don’t measure sports
SATs don’t measure art
SATs don’t measure music
Or the kindness in your heart.
SATs don’t see your beauty
SATs don’t know your worth
SATs don’t see the reasons
You were put upon this earth.
SATs don’t see your magic
How you make others smile
SATs don’t time how quickly,
You can run a mile.
SATs don’t hear your laughter
Or see that you’ve come this far
SATs are just a tiny glimpse
Of who you really are.
So sitting at home, this year,
Without your pencil and your test,
Remember SATs aren’t who you are,
Remember you’re the BEST!
Look forward to seeing you all soon,
Mrs Chandler xxx
