Juan Les Pins. First time for a few years. Four weeks and counting to some serious cocktails at my all-time favourite bar....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Not sure how old you kid(s) are - but we started preparing 18 months prior to the exam(Sep 18th/19th this year which is the beginning of year 6). The exams cover Bexley and Kent (We are SE9 - New Eltham and we are close to Bexley Grammars and Wilmington/Dartford for Kent). Kids got tuition - £90/month each. We are just having to change the days as 1 twin (the boy) is autistic and has been VERY difficult. But basically they go once a week during term time. They get homework. The get games to play with parents (e.g. turn over 5 cards - use the first 4 cards to make the value of the 5th card). And online games - like tutpup. WE got a list of exam tests and give the kids those regularly - now ramping them up in preparation for the mocks at half term.Originally posted by Zoiderman View PostThose for Kent Grammars BP?
We're moving to Devon this year, as we've found some exceptional ones there. Wouldn't mind a few pointers on 11+ too. Did your kids get tuition for them?Comment

I'll probably do long weekends this year...
Already booked - Cotswolds and Prague over the next two months.
I'd like Barcelona and perhaps a Baltic state - oh and perhaps Warsaw.
I maybe a lone traveller so might be interesting.

IoWScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Off to Cuba soonish for this year's main vacaciones de familia
Havana and Cayo Largo (diving).
Hopefully a chav-free environment.Comment
