how their 11 yo who looked big at primary school, looks like a little dot in their secondary school uniform

DS2 told me in the car at 4pm that he actually had rugby training, which started right now. Surprisingly, I did not have his kit with me

ds reckons MissT may allow him to dash off and turn up to the ensemble late or alternatively he may be able to organise a packed lunch. Suggest he visits the music office as they can issue early lunch passes for those who need to eat before an ensemble rehearsal or lesson at allocated normal lunch time.

ds has a lesson after school on Wed (with another teacher) this week which is a real pita as I'll have to make 2 round trips to pick up . dd has just gone back to her former school for a dance class and been greeted like a returning hero!

I might send him in with some provisions just in case, but thanks for the tip!

Ds1's locker key didn't get delivered to him at any point today which is disappointing as it was in by 8:40 so at the very least could have been included with the afternoon register. Will have to mail tutor to work out why, having gone to the hassle of buying lock and presenting school with keys as requested, he now seem to have been given a key for the school-provided lock, which no-one has a spare key for! Was hoping not to have to make any contact with the tutor until parents evening!

DSs tutor has a spare key. Failing that, the porters have bolt cutters and are very proficient with them :o
