Advantages: A good insight of SATS Disadvantages: none
Panorama. Monday 12th May 2008. 8.30pm-9.00pm.
Tested To Destruction.
Vivian White reports on claims that schools in England are given too many tests.
Vivian White is a former teacher and has given a honest and clear picture of views on SATS testing in England.
This week is England's week for testing Y6 children using SATS.
Parents of Y6 children and pupils undertaking these tests are probably feeling relieved that today is over (monday) because the first day of SATS is done. Today Science. Over the next few days they face;
Literacy - reading, writing (long paper & short paper), spelling and 2 maths papers (calculator and non- calculator).
I don't usually watching Education Documentaries, but after seeing how much work my colleague has put into his class (as he does ever year) in playing down the SATS, in order to stop ...

Advantages: Great performances of popular favourites and some rare gems Disadvantages: Barely none, with perhaps slight issues with sound.
't seen this around and can't comment on it too much.
As part of Deutsche Grammophon's Panorama series (cheap 2 CD collections of famous and not so famous music), the recordings are generally very good, mostly performed by top ensembles like the Berliner Philharmoniker, Boston Symphony, Detroit Symphony, and Orpheus Chamber Orchestras among others, under people like Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Daniel Barenboim and Seiji Ozawa. The recordings themselves range from the early 1960s to the late 1990s and all feature clean and well-recorded sound with minimal hiss or other distracting anomalies. With this much talent involved, you can be sure there is not much to be disappointed as far as the performances are concerned.
Beginning in high style by a wonderful performance of Hugo Alfvén's Swedish Rhapsody No.1, "Midsommarvaka ...
Advantages: A good selection of Macke's work; not expensive (can be free) Disadvantages: Better if you understand German
If you go to see this impressive house, do not forget that if it was not for the determination of local people it wouldn't be open at all. The Bonn authorities were willing to let the building become a pub but a public campaign saved it, had it restored and in 1991 the doors opened. I?m pleased they did because August Macke is one of my favourite artists and certainly deserves a place for his work to be exhibited. This lovely Classicist style house, built in the 1870s, also houses a museum that puts into context the life of Macke and the artists working around him.
It is the house where Macke painted over 400 pieces and worked until his untimely death in 1914. He was born, however, in the Sauerland region of Germany. His father was an engineer, his mother from a farming family. The family moved to Cologne shortly after August was ...
