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 ...

WHERE IS THE GLACIER?
In New Zealand?s south Island on the West Coast is a real gem known as Westland National Park, a very special area where two permanent glaciers come down to meet a lush green temperate rainforest at about 300 metres above sea level. There are only a few places in the world where two contrasting bio geographical phenomena meet and this is one. The Franz Joseph Glacier is about 12 km long and together with Fox Glacier and the surrounding area has been designated a World heritage site .
The Franz Joseph Glacier was named after the famous Austrian Emperor of the same name in 1865by an Austrian explorer but its Maori name; Ka Roimata o Hinehukatere means the tears of Hinehukatere which is a much more poetic name I feel.

Advantages: Great fun singalong album Disadvantages: NA
This has got to be one of my favourite albums ever!
Franz ferdinand are a Glasgow based indie style band, and this is their debut album. The album starts with Jacqueline, one of the most catchy songs - with the chorus it's always better on holiday, so much better on holiday. This track has been used on various TV ad campaigns, including Tennants festivals.
This is followed by Tell her tonight, another catchy guitar based track with a singalong chorus.
Take me out follows, one of the single releases from the album. This song captures their sound perfectly, and most of the tracks on the album are in the same style. It's a typical guitar rocky/punky track, with a singalong chorus.
The dark of the matinee follows, slightly slower with less energy, but an equally singalong chorus - and a mention of Terry Wogan!
Auf Achse ...
