Our grand daughter is in her first year of her GCSE course and takes one exam on Tuesday. Her school system means that she takes some subjects early after a crash course, but she has loads more next year. Treatment at the orthodontist this week too so she'll be glad when everything is over and it's the end of term and relaxation for a while!

I haven't heard from Eleanor since yesterday so I don't know how the barbecue went yet, I'm sure they'll all have had a good time though. It has been quite intense over the last few weeks, Mick's given Eleanor lots of his time helping her to revise, but she's been really good and has worked so hard on her own too. She deserves some good grades, but she's really had to work for whatever she does get.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-35884169837432213272014-06-14T09:54:21.487+01:002014-06-14T09:54:21.487+01:00It doesn't seem long since it was Daniel takin...It doesn't seem long since it was Daniel taking his GCSEs, time really does fly. Well done to KL 72 is a great result, she must be happy with that. Daniel's still got a fortnight left of this term before he finishes for summer, I think he'll get his results in his last week. He's certainly enjoying the social aspect of university, these results should let us know if he's buckling down to his studies as well as his social life.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-22845839389867571192014-06-14T09:45:55.305+01:002014-06-14T09:45:55.305+01:00It seems as though the exams have been going on fo...It seems as though the exams have been going on forever, such a relief that we've come to the end of them now.

It doesn't sem long since it was Daniel taking his GCSEs; time flies doesn't it?

It's been a bit of a mixed year for her- she has found some things difficult, but seems to have breezed through others.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-52047848979511680272014-06-13T22:37:51.863+01:002014-06-13T22:37:51.863+01:00I'm glad the exams are over for Eleanor and fo...I'm glad the exams are over for Eleanor and for you!!

I remember on my last day, I wore a uniform and all of my friends wrote good luck messages on the blouse. I am not sure if that is still the tradition, but it sure was fun! It sounds like she has worked very hard with her revision, so I bet she will do great, Jo.

I've got mixed feelings about our school system, I think kids are tested more than they need to be and alot of the teaching is how to pass exams rather than giving our young people tools on how to get on in life, but Eleanor's really enjoyed her time in school and is sad that her school years have come to an end. I know she's put alot of work in to revising for these exams so I know she's done her best and whatever grades she achieves will be good enough for me.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
