Thank goodness we are at the end! Although I speak more for me than dd! I’ve secured a new job starting in the summer term, which is a massive relief.
DD has the most adorable friend group, one of them organised an end of term quiz at a local church last night, with the help of his dad, there was another party on but they all went to the quiz and had the best time. They did all go drinking afterwards and rocked up at mine past midnight, but they are 17! No disasters other than using all my milk (and waking me up, but in the grand scheme of things not a big deal).
DD as instructed by her economics teacher has a careers appointment, and careers advisor said she had loads of time and not to worry, seems dd didn’t quite relay the idea the teacher had about setting some ambitious targets. Nevermind. Those UCAS days look great @JessyCarr thank you, dd is at college in Winchester where they are holding one so I’ll definitely get her to look at it.
I’m trying to push the idea of degree apprenticeship as something to consider, the civil service do an economics one, which I’m sure will be really interesting.
End of term reports say she’s doing what she needs to, parents evening is invite only and we were not invited which is good. She got a D in her latest maths assessment which isn’t a disaster, but she’s definitely finding that tough, she’s aiming for C in maths and A/B elsewhere. I think it’s probably a bit early to know with maths, you tend to struggle and then make a significant improvement when something clicks.
