What they ate, activities, things they do well, things they struggle with (i.e. particular homework subject) etc. How old is school age?

So, your time with them probably focusses on homework? Do you have to do daily? As a parent, I would think weekly was enough at that age.

i only have them two evenings a week for about 2.5 hours - they don't bring there homework on the days i have them.

So, is it just me, or do you think the request is a bit odd?

Sounds a bit odd to me too!

My au-p only has the kids for 2-3 hours in the afternoons but I wouldn't ask her for a diary - just an update on how the afternoon went.

She is in charge of supervising homework but all I ask her to do is to check what she can and to leave all their work for me to check when I get in and to tell me if they had any problems with any of what they had to do.

There isn't a lot you can write in a diary for such a short space of time

Snap Cat - mine are the same age
