And finally………………
Get the tests into perspective:
They are important and it is a good opportunity
to consolidate and put to the test all the skills
they have learnt so far.
But
There is no need for children (or their parents)
to worry about the tests. Children can only do
their best. They will be given plenty of
opportunity to practise for the tests in school.
Carrying on with their normal extra curricular
activities will generally be good for them.
