This is the antidote to the SATs. Questions for children to answer in the way that they want to answer them. They cannot be wrong because all the questions ask for their own opinions. This is an opportunity to focus on the individual child, reminding them that their thoughts and views count and that we are truly interested in them. Questions ask them about their favourite things, their activities and their views on school and life in general. ..... and what is even better - there is no marking needed. Simply read their answers and have a chat about them. Even if you don't fancy using this resource, let's not forget that school and education can be fun, can be stress free and is about nurturing unique individuals, not mass producing little learning robots.
