End of Term, End of Year

[Daisy]

It's that time of year again. The schools are breaking up in England and Wales, and for some of our grandchildren it will mean big changes. What's happening with your school age GCs?

[Oma]

GS1 ( almost 15 ) will start his GCSE year
GS2 (11) will go to The Comp
GD(6) will move up a year

[Sunshine]

GS1 is doing a year in industry as part of his degree course.
GD is starting uni degree course
GS2 is going into year 4

[Clover]

GD will be going into A - level exam year
GS will be going into first year of GCSE’s

[Gemini]

GD will move up to Year 5
GS1 will move up to Year 2
GS2 will start preschool

Only a couple of half days I think. He loved his trial morning, and it is on the same campus as his sister's school, so the journey and location are very familiar.

[WeeGranny]

GS moves up to Yr 8!

[Qwerty]

Eldest granddaughter goes up to Year 4
Twins go into Year 1 they are already doing their last fortnight in year 1 to get used to it , both are in the same class as there are 2 classes much to mums relief she didn’t want them separating , a later pick up from school 3,10 instead of 3 pm

GD2 will be going to college from September.
Studying Health and Social care.

[Daisy]

GD2 moves up to Year 1

GD1 moves up to Year 5 (I think! Qwerty has made me wonder if it's Year 4, as I thought they were the same age!)

GS2 starts his GCSE Year

GS1 has left school, and will probably go on to college to do IT or photography. It's all very uncertain at the moment.

[Gemini]

Definitely Year 5 Daisy. Yours, mine Qwerty and Libra's GDs are all in the same year.

Are all these children excited or nervous about next term? My three are all really looking forward to it - Phew

[Gemini]

GS1 a bit nervous ( but then he was last year and has had a great year) Not keen on his new teacher for some reason. He had lovely ones the past 2 years so I hope he's wrong about the next one!
GD likes next year's teacher and wasn't so keen on her present one, so that's good.
Little GS looking forward very much to his one morning a week at preschool 😊

[Daisy]

Definitely Year 5 Daisy. Yours, mine Qwerty and Libra's GDs are all in the same year.

I thought they were! Our three gorgeous big girls.

Sunshine - GD1 is already worrying - she's a great worrier! GS2 and GD2 take life as it comes, and GS1 is excited, worried, doesn't care, "whatever" (his favourite word when he doesn't want to communicate). I'm sure I never gave the following year a second's thought when I was at school, but I do remember relishing the extra week's holiday I had between school and College, knowing that after that I would be working and only getting two weeks holiday in a whole year!

Gem - the way they gel (or otherwise) with their teachers is so important, isn't it!
