Hi everybody!

Whew! The NAPLAN tests are finally over. The NAPLAN tests were actually called the Basic Skills Tests in the past years. But this year the names been changed to the NAPLAN tests. NAPLAN stands for National Assessments Programs Language And Numearcy. For the past week, we have been doing our tests. The year 3 and 5 tests are the ones that really count but the year 6 tests still count towards their highschool selection. 

We had numeracy, language, reading and writing tasks. The writing task was to be about something that was found. My story was about a 15 year old girl called Sarah. She found a instuction sheet leading to the House Of DOOM. When she got inside she was captured and was killed. Her sister Jane found the instruction sheet and even though she followed the instructions she could never find the House Of DOOM.

Still, some of the tests were a bit hard but some were really easy.

But still, everyone is happy about the NAPLAN tests being over. Even the teachers! YAY!

I’ll write later. Bye!
