Year 11 GCSE thread continued!

DS1 had a lie in too Atia before heading in for Physics.

It was Leavers Day yesterday for DS, so well over half the year could celebrate properly, just the triple science crew back in today and Further Maths tomorrow.

Sixth form starts on the 30th June for 2 days and I believe work will be handed out for the summer.

Last one today, thank goodness. Afternoon one so dd2 is having a lie in. And then Prom tonight :)

She had RS yesterday, which is compulsory at her school, so most of the year in and it was most people's last exam - only the triple science lot having Physics today. So it was hard seeing so many people around her so happy afterwards!

Unexpected & Morvah - good luck to your DC for today's chemistry. My DC found revising for it hard going - not helped by the warm humid weather.

For the first time, DS is panicking about Chemistry tomorrow. He says there is just sooooo much of it. I am being supportive while what I really want to do is scream "well maybe you should have got up earlier and not gone to the gym today!" I think he is just very tired and fed up of the seemingly endless slog since 8 May and the first Drama exam. Roll on Monday!

That is lovely, |Sing.

That's the last past paper done. Phew! Good luck to all who stil have a few left :)

LIZS DD really liked the paper although consensus on TSR is that it was tricky and a lot of her friends weren't happy with the 8- and 10-markers.

Anyway, all over now and I too am on the .

No holiday work here either - our local sixth form college does give out pre-course work but only at enrolment at the end of August. Dd said last night that she is longing to read a book for pleasure so dh has gone out and bought her some on her wish list today.

All the best for you DC Expected for tomorrow and Monday.
Prom is this week for us.

DD doesn't have any holiday work or reading to do.

thanks Marni . It was "fine" although 8 marker not as straightforward as expected , whatever that means Hope your dd 's went ok.

He's now vegging out , off to meet friends tomorrow, D of E next week ... , a well deserved rest. I need ! Got to do it all over again in 3 years' time with dd and the next 2 for AS/A2

Getting increasingly jealous of everyone who is finished/finishing! We still have Chem tomorrow and Physics Monday. The end feels like it will never come. Then it's prom on Thurs, 2 weeks of work experience and Grade 7 drums on the Sunday. And already we have had the letter about Bridge tests for A level choices and summer work to be completed! DH wondered if these poor kids ever get a break?

Last day here too (Latin). We're definitely going out to celebrate tonight; it's been such a long few weeks and feel we should mark it in some way. No holiday work here apart from a (pretty extensive!) reading list in preparation for next year. DD looking forward to it.

Good luck to your DS in the Latin paper today LIZS

It's the Final Countdown ....!!!! Might go out this evening to celebrate.

Yesterday ds went in to hand back books and pick up summer holiday work in preparation for next year - it never ends.

Next 10 weeks

DS is looking for a job too. Leavers assembly next week and Prom the week after but he has no other plans for the next week. He is quite capable of doing nothing at all ( if I let him).

All done here.

won't look

MorvahRising I understand your ds's logic. I found testing ds on the morning of his exams awkward in case he got tons wrong and lost any confidence.

Day 2 of ds being at home and he's bored already - he has applied for a couple of summer jobs in Boots and Smiths but being only 15 still, they probably even look at the application. Going to get him a 3 month gym membership tomorrow to fill his time - its going to be a long wait until August.

The end of the tunnel is nigh! One more to go here - OCR gateway physics on Thursday (afternoon, it would be wouldn't it!). Ds is back from university so we are planning a meal out on Thursday evening to celebrate. We can finally start thinking about having some fun - ds and dd both have trips to opposite ends of the globe this summer, lucky things!

Meet back here for results.....??!

One more to go! The dreaded physics. (She is actually ok at it, but is convinced she isn't. But no matter as she isn't doing any science at a level)
Good luck everyone!

All done! Ds1 had last AQA maths paper this morning. It was the statistics one which he loves. He said it went really well - first time he has said that about any of his exams!

I haven't seen him as he went straight to the park with some friends, but he texted to say he's feeling happy. At least he finished on a good one. I think most have finished at his school - only Latin & Polish left.

Good luck to those still going.
