NAPLAN tests

Jack is gearing up for his Year 3 Sats Equivalent. In the UK he would have already done them, but Queensland Education delays everything including the year kids start school. Jack was lucky to get into school and thus is about 6 - 7 months behind the UK but what the heck...

As I say his NAPLAN tests in Reading, 'Riting and 'Rithmetric... (honestly the 3 R's ) is looming. I've just sat him down and treated him to 3 papers - 45 mins each and he unofficially scored: 82% Maths, 86% Reading and 67% on Grammar. He was kicking himself on the 67% - since he spelt all the words he got wrong outside of the test without fail. Bless him.... lets see how he does on the day.

Oh - and he got into the boys school down the road... Iona College.
