I let ds have the day off yesterday and cancelled tuition on Friday after school.He's really tired and being dyslexic he has to work that much harder than others.Ds also gets ill every exam week with a cold/virus, so I'm trying to prevent it this time.
His class are all now really tired of revising and CE exams after every half term.I just want them to still have some time to play and be kids still.

No way should they be taking weekends off!

Well at least 3 exams are already out of the way. We have half term for a week this Friday and then straight into CE on return! Yikes!! It is rather worrying me that DS is feeling optimistic and buoyant! Double yikes! He will be working every day for 4hrs per day through half term, except the Sun before when I want him to relax.

Soooo - here we are then.

Just wondering what people's revision plans are? One of the lovely teachers at DS's school has suggested that he takes both of the next 2 weekends off from revision - have to confess that has made me feel a bit nervous!
