School Days – down on school sports
This week’s School Days have been up and down. One moment there’s some great highs, the next and there’s a downer on everything that’s gone on that day. I’m dreading teenage years if this is what is can be like…
School Days – new school shoes and nicknames
It’s seemed like the last week of school days whizzed by, being the first back after the half term. Even N said it had gone quickly, but then got confused when I tried to explain how it feels like time’s…
Learning about health and exercise at school
One of the great things about children starting school is that you no longer have to answer every question they ask. I’m presuming the teachers get a lot of their questions too. But there’s also the mystery about what they…

School days – flashcards and VIP
This week’s been an uneventful week at school as far as I can tell. N ended off the week on Friday with a headache that came on at lunch time and lasted until Sunday morning, so he was very quiet…
School days – school shorts and assembly
Thanks to the SATs parents and kids protest last week, lots of you wrote posts so we had quite a few linking up to the #schooldays linky. Otherwise, this week has been quiet on the school front. New friends I’ve…
School days – gymnastics and learning lines
This week’s School Days has been a little more relaxed than normal, in part due to N being more interested in the books he’s brought home. Phew, it was getting hard work previously. Oh, and obviously there’s a bank holiday…
School days – tennis club and Queen’s birthday
Another week closer to half term and primary school allocation day has passed. I can’t really believe that was us waiting last year. But I hope anyone waiting this time got the school choice they wanted. If your children are…
