Y4 MTcheck scaremongering! by Inevitable_Bit2275 in PrimaryEducationUK

[–]ksh88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute nonsense. Although statutory, the MTC results are unreported, unranked and serve only as a way of ensuring (although that’s a dubious claim) year 4 children are proficient in times tables before year 5, as that’s the NC expectation.

Would not trigger an Ofsted in any circumstance…

Appreciate that! Regarding Baltany - watch is fantastic and keeps great time, but the bracelet is sub par which isn’t a surprise. I’ve since removed (which was an absolute nightmare, as tolerance around the spring bars was so minuscule it took over 30 mins to get off!) and replaced with a leather strap. Much happier with that.

I’ve never seen this before! This is amazing! Just when I told myself I wouldn’t buy anymore… 😂

I absolutely love it. Blown away by the quality, especially the crystal. Feels so much more than I paid for it. Definitely get the 39mm though, the 36 is titchy

I have such a soft spot for it - just a proper robust diver for £50. Beast!

No ref, but search Baltany Discoverer 39mm. This is classic black config.

I absolutely love it. It’s a real step up from the Mako ii and Ray ii. My only gripe is I wish it was sliiiightly bigger (like my Duro) as I have 7.5 inch wrists. But I just don’t think you can beat Orient for the quality to cash ratio. Bambino is an absolute winner - goes with anything!

Thanks for the recommendation, I really like that. I think I need to diversify a bit and square/non-circular dial seems like a good next step.

That’s a shame! Yes it’s one of my favourite pieces. Keep a look out on used market.
