Just doing an Amazon order, have English, maths, science, SPAG, handwriting, times tables and division minute maths, 8 new reading books per child, A4 lined note pads, printer paper so far. What am I forgetting? I left it a few days last time and the workbooks sold out absolutely everywhere not making that mistake again.

Our primary was dreadful last time set next to no work, their advice was read for 30 minutes and 15 times table rock stars and they would catch them back up in school. Secondary was ok for my then year 9 now year 10 child but when my year 7's bubble was off self isolating it was one lesson, form time and assembly each day.

Not buying anything this time - if the school wants to be crap with home learning - I'm not patching up the holes at home and killing myself mentally.

I'm not buying anything.

He got some new stationery for Christmas anyway.

School will be setting work on Microsoft teams.

I've been very pleasantly surprised by the schoo.

First lockdown Dd was home educated anyway as we didn't have a school place from jan-sept due to a move, but luckily I'd home educated her elder brother through primary so I had all my favourite work books that I knew to get again (CGP and Collins are excellent).

But they have gone all out to provide work.

Our school was fantastic last time. This time, from the variety of work set by the teachers online yesterday, it looks good again. My dc asked questions to 2 teachers, and it was answered in few minutes, they are fab.
