It can be a stressful time for some schoolchildren facing Standard Assessment Tests (Sats).
But there are teachers who are trying to take the pressure off their pupils.
This note sent to Year 6 pupils at Bucklebury Primary School in Reading, Berkshire has gone viral on social media.
Believed to have been written by Bucklebury Primary’s teacher Mrs Thom, she lists a number of fun activities that her pupils should do in the weekend before their tests.
They include watching a favourite TV programme, going outside and enjoying the weather, eating ice cream and smiling.
She adds that if there is a need to revise, pupils should do a maximum of one hour in total.
She ends her note to her pupils: “Mrs Thom is in charge of worrying – you don’t need to. You are all amazing and I couldn’t be more proud of you.”
On Facebook, Mrs Thom’s message has been shared 62,000 times with 70,000 reactions.
