SATs' week

Today, we did not do any tests, or should I rather say, my son did not do anything. He may carry on with his preparation after school if he is not too tired after his SATs. Anyway, we talked about planning his essay, in case he needs to write a piece: the main characters, the place and action. It seems to me that children find it difficult to verbalise what they want to write about. Planning helps a great deal.
