If you home educate, happy not back to school week!
If you use schools- happy back to school week!
Not doing things by halves here, we are of course doing both.
Wig is back to school this week, going into year nine- this year is all about options apparently, choosing what you want to do for GCSEs and he already has a clear idea of what he's going to go for, so that's good. He did of course grow like a weed over the summer holidays so he has new shirts, new school shoes and a new (much bigger) rucksack. He doesn't need new trousers because I cunningly got HUGE ones earlier in the year and he might need new PE trainers but we're going to deal with that next Saturday.
Roo has finished school, got the GCSE results he wanted (phew!) and is off to college this week to study architecture. He needs some new clothes at some point because despite being nearly six foot he is still going on up, and we need to have a root around in the attic today to see if we've got any spare steel toe-capped boots in there that fit him. If not, we'll need to get him some.
Saurus has all finished college, he's looking for work and preparing to go visit his girlfriend in America.
Fluff, Petal and Dot are all carrying on Home Educating and Hoof, who will be five in January, now officially joins them! Of course he's been doing all sorts of things for ages but now he's in the 'legally obliged to provide with an education' bracket. We have lots of fun things planned! Petal now has her own tablet and will be doing lots on that, we need to get back into Conquer Maths with a vengeance for a start.
So, I wish you all a happy and productive Autumn Term!
