Evidence my class/colleagues are losing it in the run-up to SATs #1

• One child (not realising anyone could see him) walking out of the computer suite in what can only be described as the style of a Thunderbird puppet.
• Me mistakenly telling my class to "make sure you are looking at someone else's answers" (obviously I meant to say "make sure you AREN'T looking at anyone else's answers")
• The corridors ringing with the sounds of teachers crying " Why would you write that...Why? Why?"
• And "Why are you making up your own methods for addition, subtraction etc on the spot when you could be using the ones you have been perfecting for the last 5 years? Why? Why?"
• and many other similar semi-hysterical rhetorical questions.
• A boy taking the same reading test twice in 24 hours and it not even seeming vaguely familiar the second time (in fact he scored 6 points fewer)
• Aforementioned "Thunderbird" disturbing whole class by pausing briefly in his writing, singing "Ta-da!" and starting his writing again as if nothing had happened.
• Random outbreaks of shimmying/ nervous humming (mainly the children but it's early days!)
• A small boy timing the strokes of his writing to the theme of the A-team (which he maintains he didn't even realising he was doing)
• Me wondering how on earth I will get round my hobbit-hole of a classroom with all the desks spread out exam style without having to use a metre stick to pole vault over them.
• The children taking half an hour to calm down after me suggesting the meter-stick/pole vaulting combi.
• Me taking half an hour to calm down having realised their laughter was totally unfounded as no-one actually knew what pole-vaulting was.
