[228agreenend]

Hello everyone, new thread for the final push.

This week we have history r.s chemistry physics and geography paper3

Hugs sock there's being a lot of deaths amongst DDs friends but the school have being excellent

Oh sock I am so sorry to hear that

Or meybe get your OH (if you have one) to make the call for you. what a horrible shock. I'm so sorry

Sock - so sorry to hear that - a difficult time for you all.

I'm sorry Sock :(

So sorry to hear of your loss Socks and Shiney.
All credit to you and your dcs for having the strength to keep going

Oh socks. I'm so sorry.

Oh dear, Socks. Puts it all into perspective.

DS2 says Catering was... you've guessed it... 'OK.'

Sorry to hear about those going through bereavements after losing family members.

Sorry to hear about the bereavements.

I read for catering this afternoon , seemed quite straightforward, colours of chopping boards, improving fibre and reducing fat.
Wondered about the how to be economic running a restaurant ( can't remember exact question) but I guess they're taught

Food tech, chemistry & physics this week, 2x further maths next week. I have not heard from DS all weekend, it's slightly driving me crazy, I'm just hoping he's done enough revision, we're up to 99% on Tassomai, but he hasn't done any over the last week ...

So sorry for your loss sock. As has been mentioned - if you tell the school, they should apply to the exam board for special consideration

Oh dear, DocMarten, I've just quizzed DS2 on his Catering and he didn't answer the fibre one correctly and his ideas on reducing fat consisted of using low fat ingredients! And he didn't give any examples. Sigh!

Shiney and Socks

Lucky coco DD has 6 left

I don't think dd will manage to finish Tassomai. She's done 35% of it in two days. Not bad given it seems to be a years course, but she will have to work hard tomorrow

Thanks all for your good wishes. I have been in touch with the Exams Officer at his school today, she was very kind and advised me to send a letter in outlining the details, and she will then apply for special consideration for him. He had to sit his Geography 2 the day after it happened and then there were a few more last week, as well as this week's final lot. Feel so awful for him as he feels he's got to focus on revision rather than grieving :(

Poor love.

Dd is horrified to find out that History is tomorrow afternoon not morning. Which has reduced her Chemistry revision time.

Sigh.

Ds1 has chemistry on Wednesday, physics on Friday and... that's it. It will all be over.
He has stayed remarkably relaxed through most of it (bar the odd meltdown ) and showed a maturity I have never managed.

Prom on Friday and then the year group are off to a theme park next week so hopefully he will make some fun memories.

Hope your son and you are ok socks. I expect it will hit you hard when the exams are over so take care of yourself afterwards x

Just wanted to give you another unMNy squeeze socks

History here today which is DD's best subject. She's hoping Votes for Women comes up as the compulsory question.

Physics on Friday, but according to DD's boyfriend there won't be any boys at the revision session on Thursday afternoon!
