Residential week away

Hi there
Am beggining to panic now as daughter (sitting Sutton Coldfield grammar exam on 13th Oct) has just returned from fab week away with school. However, she was extremely shattered yesterday and has woken up rather tired and grumpy this morning.

Don't know whether to let her chill for weekend and start again Monday, or whether to plough on with work now. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Why not give her today off and start again tomorrow in the afternoon when she should be fresher? Remind her that the exam is soon but that you realise she needs recovery time so you're giving her today off. This might make her appreciate the free time more.
