To think Yr6 is a massive pita and be counting the days until the end of July?

Just that really.

DD is 11. She seems to be stuck in a group (with one exception) of cantankerous, catty, stroppy, hormone fuelled, spiteful girls who flounce if someone so much as bats an eyelid in the wrong direction. One in particular is constantly try to stir between DD and her other friends and resorted to some really hurtful & offensive name calling yesterday.

I'm sure its a combination of hormones & familiarity breeds contempt but every day there is another drama (I expect DD isn't entirely without her diva moments either tbf), and its exhausting having to listen to chapter and verse about it every evening.

There also seems to no rhyme or reason to the work they are doing, and due to the govt getting rid of levels, no reliable way of finding out how DD is progressing.

The school converted to academy status fairly recently and their organisation & communication leaves a fair bit to be desired.

I just can't wait for a fresh start in September tbh. Tell me it's not just me, and if anyone has any advice on how to stay sane between now and the summer hols that would be great .

We are Australia, dd is in year 5/ (uk year 6) she leaves primary in year 7 ( 13 yrs old) much much better idea, they will hopefully have passed the friendship woes stage!!!

It's not better!! They leave y6 into a bigger friendship pool - so kids who are bullied can get away and find friends - like minded soles who they haven't been lumped with at juniors

My twin boys are hating year 6.

One is terribly dyslexic so the constant preparation for sats is a nightmare. I'll never get the govt obsession with them. As soon as my daughter got to year 7 the secondary school retested them as they said they think all primary schools inflate the results anyway.

Pointless year.
