Typing the heading, have just realised that it was Friday the 13th - I didn't notice it and not one person commented on it. Is everyone becoming less superstitious?
It was the start of the A level exams today - Geography - so that group are going around with very long faces. They still have to come to all their lessons except where they're taking an actual exam. Seems harsh but it means they really have to focus on revision, particularly as their host families expect them to be out of the house all day
The Foundation group were quite angry about the insistent questioning yesterday but I reassured them that far from diminishing their achievements, they were actually able to score more marks by handling it well. We looked at 'family' vocabulary. Interestingly, they all had a problem with the concept of 'fostering', none of them having thought about an alternative to adoption or an orphanage and it led to quite a heated discussion amongst them. Coincidentally there was a poster inside the bus advertising for foster families. I hadn't seen it before as I usually walk home but it came along at exactly the right moment.
My beloved has done something to his back and is hobbling around - hope it gets better soon.
