The @Kids diet was developed, with help from special consultants Jason Leonard (England World Cup rugby player) and Dan Buckley (ICT Teacher of the Year), to help take the stress out of SATs for Key Stage Two pupils.

Similar to a healthy diet, @kids followers need to remember the following key points:

• balance exercise with meals (revision);
• eat a reasonable amount regularly (revise for short periods of time);
• avoid crash diets for quick results (revision cramming);
• make parents and friends part of your normal revision routine;
• vary what you eat (revise) and make sure it is balanced.

The @Kids balanced diet works best in a six-week plan and is based on '10 Golden Rules'. It guarantees longer lasting results - much more than you'd ever get from a crash diet. Jason and Dan have added helpful hints, drawing on their experiences from the Rugby pitch and the classroom to help motivate kids and guide parents on how to get through the SATs!

It's motivating, it's lasting, above all - it's healthy.

  The @Kids 10 Golden Rules

---

1. Organise yourself.

Jason says: When I was training for the World Cup, it was important for me and the rest of the team to keep organised! This meant always having our kit at hand, knowing when our training sessions began and where they were going to take place. Do the same for your revision! Work in places that are comfortable, make sure you have everything you need close at hand, and even try revising in different places to keep things fun.
Dan says: Getting organised makes you feel good, can involve making colourful charts and rearranging pencils! Make sure you don't spend more than a day getting organised. Put most of your time into your plan - what will you study, when and for how long?

	Juniors.net allows teachers and parents to allocate specific activities to children and get instant feedback on performance - and give rewards as and when desired

2. Balance your work between subjects. Make sure it is varied.

Jason says: Imagine if the only thing I practiced all day was scrumming! It would get a bit boring after a while wouldn't it? I like to split my time when I'm practicing my skills because if I practice the same thing all day, I don't seem to improve. You'll find the same for revision - it's best to spend shorter amounts of time on different subjects than several hours on one subject. It sounds weird but you'll actually remember more!
Dan says: It's not only the subjects you need to vary. Vary the type of activity you do. Also look for the connections between your subjects

	Juniors.net has over 850 interactive motivational activities covering over 90% of Numeracy, Literacy and Science at Key Stage 2 (7-11-year-olds)

3. Give yourself rewards.

Jason says: We all need something we like to motivate us to train or revise. When you've been working hard you deserve a reward - whether it be playing outside with your friends in the fresh air, watching a good movie or treating yourself to a snack. Go on... spoil yourself!
Dan says: It's important that you recognise when you have achieved something great, whether it be scoring highly on a test or overcoming a topic you have found difficult in the past. Not only does it provide you with a break (see Golden Rule 4) but it also motivates you to do well.
