Thanks Helen0209

The funny thing is that DS2 enjoys reading more than DS1. However, we will have to work on the times table part. He doesn't lack determination that's for sure. lol

Caveman47 - good luck with DS2. Would advise lots of reading with him and ensuring he knows his times tables inside out at this stage.
Hi helen0209, I was just thinking the exact same thing! I’m coming from the Erdington/Sutton way, so we could bus together when he starts.

For DS it’s a new found independence, he’s excited about having a phone and a key to the house and making himself tea!
Ricky74 says the bus picks up at Yenton, that will be straight walk home for DS.

Congratulations All.


Our DS will be travelling from Wolverhampton to KEHGS and are looking at the possibility of arranging a car share to drop off and collect from School.

Please message me if anybody is interested at possibly arranging together.

Indeed it does - will send a PM later (once teas, homework, baths etc. are out of the way) and I have 5 mins :lol: !!

And just to follow on with all things HGS - just seen in the newsletter it has a new look website https://www.handsworth.bham.sch.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Suspect this will be getting quite a few hits at the moment :D

Whew! This is becoming one competitive thread :D True to my pseudonym, I haven’t done any work or printing yet. Does being glued to this forum count? DH says i’m addicted.

I've just printed off the parents guidance document. I'm old school. I like to read things off paper than on screen.
