School days Year 6 March
Even N thinks this year’s going fast, and he’s getting ever closer to secondary school. Here’s this month’s School Days for March year 6. Secondary school offer day I was up at midnight to check N’s school offer, and thankfully…
School days Year 6 February
March is rapidly approaching and that’s another month of school days complete. A shorter month than usual thanks to not only the short number of days, but the fact Covid hit, so N ended up losing a week of school….
