Can I join in too?

I feel like a mum every year! [but several times over]

I get just as nervous for them.

They're all falling apart round here! I seem to have spent most of the last week administering TLC and soothing frayed nerves.

:( :( :( trying hard not to show dissapointment - she said it went really well BUT she left out a whole section and two more answers - she didn't even guess them - we have drummed it so hard into her about what to do if she runs out of time that I am astounded she could do it again ! (she did the same in a practice paper) she was told 5 mins to go and said that she was waiting to be told 1 min and then guess the rest.

She get so absorbed in what she's doing she's in like her own world - anyway I feel I can have a bit of a rant on here - cause i have played it down and re-assured that it doesn't matter and that all she can do is learn from it and be a bit more prepared next week xxxxx :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hi,

Mine came and said it was easy. I don't know what 'easy' means though. It was relief to hear that.
Hope everyone is coping OK..

There is another one next.. so we all have a second chance again, regardless of weather the child think it was easy or hard.

I off to shopping... more bananas... :)
