The SATs week has come to a close for Year 6 pupils, but things have run far from smoothly.

Hundreds of M.E.N. readers also reacted with fury to the tests, saying their children - even those working at greater depth - had come home crying because they'd struggled so much with it.
The government has defended the “challenging” tests.
Last year's reading paper, which is said to be much easier, is available online, if you fancy your chances with it.
Children were given a 12-page booklet to read about three different subjects - The Parsnips girls football team, an interview with a circus performer and a story titled A Traveller in Time - before answering questions about the texts in another 20-page booklet.
They had an hour to answer the questions and were told to read one text and answer the relevant questions before moving onto the next.
Questions range from ordering the correct sequence of events from a text, to multiple choice and matching characters to descriptions.
