Hi, the house is on the market, I don't know when it will sell, could be years yet BUT today I scared myself silly looking at what they would be doing especially in English if we were in the UK now. They are 7 and 9 so in the UK they would be just finishing Year 2 and Year 4, but here ds1 is finishing his 3rd year at school and for ds2 he's only just finishing his 1st year.We've been here 4 years and they are both pretty much bi-lingual, and do well in German and Maths.
So, what I want to know is - how did you prepare, which resources did you use, and what support did you get in the UK? I'm hoping to do some extra work with them in the holidays when they don't have regular school work and tests to worry about, but I don't want it to be a chore.

anyone else moved back to the UK with bilingual children, how did they cope at school?
