You spend weeks revising for your Sats so it’s only natural you want to know how well you’ve done, but loads of you are facing a long wait for the results.

Problems with marking thousands of Key Stage Two papers mean your results will be at least a week late.

The company that organises the marking has had big problems with its computers so some papers haven’t been marked yet.

It means loads of results may not be through before schools close for the summer holidays.

One in 10 of the papers taken by 10 and 11-year olds still haven’t been marked.

But the situation is even worse for Key Stage Three papers, which were taken by 13 and 14-year-olds. They might be nearly two weeks late.

Tests scrapped

All 11 and 14-year-olds in England do Sats and teachers use the results to see how well you’re doing.

But some people think the tests should be scrapped because they can stress you out.

Wales got rid of them recently and replacement versions are already being tried out in England.

Ringtone girl gets £129 bill

A 13-year-old girl got the shock of her life when she got a £129 mobile bill after accidentally signing up for a ringtones service. Rosie McCarthy thought she was getting one free ringtone when she saw the web advert, but she got much more! At first she was sent one ringtone a day, but eventually she was getting up to three a day - and it was costing her £1.50 a time. She told her dad and he eventually got all their money back.

My baby moves an average of 200 times per day. In two months that will be up to 500 times per day. Towards the end of the pregnancy, movements will be slower and more intense as there is less room for it to move around. The baby still spends most of the day sleeping.

The baby is now around the length of a large banana and it is beginning to get a little fatter.

I found this picture on the internet.  It is of a baby the same age of mine which was born VERY early.  It was very lucky and it survived.  Most babies which are born this early do not survive as their important organs are not developed well enough.

Over the next few weeks we will be helping you to get prepared for your new school.

I thought that we would have an optical illusion as we have not had one for a while…

 

You may have noticed that the avatars (little pictures next to your comments) disappeared a while back.  Well I have made them return and this time it shows you as little monsters!  If you have selected your own avatar picture then it should continue to use that one on your next post.

Well here is the scan photo.  The baby (we did not find out whether it is a boy or a girl) was very busy putting its foot right above its head and stretching its arms out as if it were sunbathing.  In fact it did not keep still during either of the two scans which I had yesterday!  In the scan photo it is only bending one leg.  It is growing well and you can clearly see its nose, mouth and chin in the picture. 

Here you go…

Little Miss Bow and Little Miss Friendly

 

Little Miss Bow went to knock on her friends door ” Knock knock ” Little Miss friendly answered the door “Do you want to go on the park?” “Ok” said Little Miss Friendly they were walking through the lane and they were chatting, then suddenly they got to the park. “Yay” they both shouted.

 

“Shall we go on to the swings?” said Little Miss Friendly “ok” said Little Miss Bow so they went onto the swings. They hoped on the swings they shouted “weeeeeeeeee” they were having lots of fun but then SUDDENLY…

Little Miss Bows bow came off and she didn’t notice so she was still going high on her swing and there laid her bow on the cut fresh green grass. Her Friend Gasped ” Oh “Said Her Friend “what what” said Little Miss Bow “look there’s one of your bows ” OH NO” shouted Little Miss Bow then she scraped her feet and stopped her self and she kneeled down, looked at her bow, and cried she was very sad!

 

Her friend said to her lets take you to your house and then ill get you some tea “o…o….ok” so Little Miss Friendly took her home and made her some pasta bake then she had a good idea “wait here ill go and get something” “ok” said little Miss Bow so she went out the door and ran as quickly as she could to the shop saw the last bow and said “can I have that last pink bow please” “ok” said the shopkeeper. So then she went and brought it for her friend so then she walked home. When she got home Little Miss Bow was in her room so Little Miss Friendly wrapped up her present and shouted her down. She came down the stairs and then she opened the present and went all happy again what a day she shouted!
