How are all the year 7s getting on? It's been a few weeks, so I suspect everyone is into the swing of things.

How much homework are your year 7 dc being set?

DS hasn't had a lot, but has moved in from no homework, so still getting to grips with it all.
He's not too keen on the travelling side too (we're about 15 miles from school- not a huge distance).

He's also doing 3 languages, and as much as I think that's brilliant, I'm not sure how well he will do for until he chooses one or two for GCSEs.

Going well so far! She gets a bus in and so now sees no reason why she can't pop on a bus to meet up with friends ... the acceleration of independence has been huge! She and her friends all arranged to meet up for lunch during a recent inset day where they ate without adults around for the first time, split the bill etc. Could not have imagined that back in August!!

That's awful re:toilets. Hope you manage to get to the bottom of it.

We're struggling with toilets. Apparently they are always locked, so DS just isn't drinking so he never needs them....
We've got a "meet the tutor" virtual appointment tment tonight. So I'm going to be asking, and hoping he's got the wrong end of the stick...

Other wise, ok I think. Getting quite a bit of homework, but they are only quick little 10 min things. Usually multiple choice quizzes online.
