Sorry for pinching the idea from the preschoolers, but I thought it was a really good one!
Yesterday afternoon DD2's previous year group/ comtemporaries left her old primary school. She was so little when she left there it's hard to believe. Such a weird feeling that she is now too old for primary school and one I can't quite get my head around.
Anyway, I'm needing ideas for next year, and with one daughter who will be Year 10 in September, and the other Year 7, I thought a support thread would be helpful.
DD1 is starting all the rest of her GCSEs in earnest. DD2 I'm at a bit of a loss what to do with. With the possible exceptions of science and maths, the Key Stage 3 curriculum struck me as a complete waste of time when I did it with DD1. But, though she's bright, I'm reluctant to go too far down the GCSE route for DD2 yet, because I want her life to be fun. I'm thinking we might keep doing projects more in the primary style, but I am aware that she needs it a bit more involved than for primary level.
So, ideas, worries, problems, day-to-day routines, put them all on here! I'm aware summer's a bit quieter so will bump now and then!
