Year 11 GCSE Exam Support Thread 2

[HSMMaCM]

New thread ..... (DD not sure about the prom dress she has bought!!!!)

Your tales of upside down/ cycling/ not bothered children are making me feel better.
DD has come downstairs and put on a DVD of Lilo and Stitch and is singing Hawaiian Rollercoaster ride at the top of her voice........

Oh these have made me laugh out loud, DS has decided he'll get up a bit earlier and "gen up" on some bible quotes, apparently he usually makes them up .

Oh SugarPlum. It is hard.

AuntP, I like his style, making them up

DD says she makes then up ap.

'You just say something kind and spiritual, Mum .'

Fortunately her next school give not a shiney shit if she passes her half GCSE.

oh please post some of the 'made up' bible quotes. They should get extra marks for being so inventive.

I am certain DD didn't learn any quotes last year when she did her RE!

She has got to learn some English quotes for next week though - I don't think you could get away with making them up!

I've just asked dd if she should learn quotes for RS and she said (& I quote) ...

'No, we just have to learn stuff like do not kill, although I'm severely tempted'.

I was told that although DS isn't good at understanding other peoples point of views, he would be given quotes to learn.

DS1 made up his own quotes for his RE mock exam......not a good result. Apparently he didn't think his teacher would notice. "She's Catholic...she probably hasn't read the Quran"

'Thou shall not be a sinner lest thou find thyself sinned against .'

at these, cheering me up no end.

Thinking of working out how I get to mark RS exams now. Could be a good laugh

I'd be up for that ! So 8.53pm night before the exam and DD comes in to say she is going to do some revision amd part of FB group chat who are revising.

Reading about hanging upside down off bars: I found DD unicycling without helmet today (she can't unicycle, it!s Ds's). Teenage brains are weird things.

SPT better late than never!

Hello all, well after a whirlwind weekend of partying for DH's birthday, I'm coming back down to earth with a bump!
Had to buy pens today, they have to be a certain kind and I've been searching high and low for them. Still didn't manage to find the one, but hopefully found an acceptable substitute.

Good Luck for this week everyone, DH & I have been looking at a weekend away just for us after the exams are over. I cannot. wait.

DD2 hasn't done any RE revision this weekend she's been concentrating on Biology for Tuesday. As for RE "All you need to know is Love Thy Neighbour and Catholics are against anything to do with sex"

She just had a shower and has her pencil case all ready. Pens, pencils (lead and coloured) and highlighters all bought yesterday.

Good luck to all our DC

Having read the various inventive approaches to RS I almost wish my DD was doing it .

I was away most of the w/e at DBs wedding, she seems to have been revising chem and biol with slight hiccup of having lost her biology revision guide (DH dutifully went out and got her another, I think the last copy in town).

Good luck to everyone doing Rs (anything else?) tomorrow.

Here we go, good luck for those with exams today

She who doth not revise shall live in a vale of tears.

.

Just RS for DD today.
Then both of mine have French tomorrow morning and biology in the afternoon.

She who doth stay up late the night before trying to learn it all at once shall verily be tired and grumpy come the morning.

Good luck for RS to all who do it. I told DD to just write something "kind and spiritual" (tongue in cheek) - she was in stitches. At least it lightened the mood.

WF very apt "quote".
DD has French & Biology tomorrow too.

Found out that the main/only exams officer at DD's school has just left a couple of weeks ago, they recruited quickly and the replacement starts today! What on earth is going on in that school with the new head?

HSM, that was me 30-odd years ago!

Just Citizenship this afternoon for DD. Then same as TWF tomorrow, gulp.

I feel sick. Don't know about DD!

DS's just gone. His parting quote whether made up or not was "and God said I hate divorce".......he's calm and laughing at my panic, which is good as it's 90% work crap and only 10% him today

Morning all. Hope all your DC are ok this morning.
Dd was ok last night, woke at 5, snuffling and wheezing. Not sure if it's a cold coming or nerves. Got told to stop nagging when I asked her to do her inhaler.
RE and Citizenship today. Then 2 hours of English intervention. Not overly happy with this, it's too much, would rather she came home, had a rest and food, then studied on her own.

Good Luck everyone! Tomorrow is THE day for us. French x 2 and Biology x 2. DS2 is stoic and revising hard. I feel he's been left to his own devices a bit as his errant brother has taken up a lot of our time with A Levels this year.
