Pizza - lucky! Dd's house get no reward

Hi Voluptoraptor, The average grades are important as there are academic trophys awarded to a boys and a girls house, but I don't think the children get too get up about it. Dd is competitive with herself, but as long as its mainly 5's with a few 4's she's happy. What she isn't happy with is the 3c ...

There does seem to be a problem with the grades this time - dd is still missing 3. The tutors havn't sent them to the house parents.

Dd couldn't understand the fuss everyone was making over 'the man who sells crisps'.


So we explained about him being the most famous English footballer of his day, and current sports presenter. There was a pause, and a 'oh..... that makes sense now' ! Lol

Hi Pinkhebe, You should be fine to take your ds out tomorrow. We took dd out last night and back this morning. All the main roads to Horsham are clear, and the main town roads are clear. Horsham did a great job. The road from the boars head to CH is fine, and the CH staff have done a fabulous job ar...

Hi - it was in the mailing that we got at half term.

Hi CHdad, aren't you going to the Christmas Fair this afternoon at school?

Dd calls both home and school 'home', and I'm very pleased that she does

Pj's here too. Food and a couple of days wall to wall dvd's....and magical lie-ins.

..and that warm fuzzy feeling of us all being together again

I enjoyed playing 'spot the girl'

There is a lavishly illustrated 6 page article in today's Telegraph newspaper magazine. I have only just bought it, and won't get to read it until later, but one thing really leaps out at me. There are only two photos of girls. Looking at the photos, you would think that CH is a boys school !!

Washing the uniform would terrify me.

We take it into Sainsburys in Horsham. They have a new dry cleaners ( different from last year who weren't brilliant). The new guys did a fantastic job - not a yoghurt stain in sight and for £4.20 for the skirt and jacket together.

Or not much tuck....dd said no to chocolate and sweets. She's taken tomato soup and pasta pots, and a large pack of cherry tomatoes ( there's been a theme this holiday - salad and tomatoes :-/ ) A couple of books until they get used to the library, photos, push pins for the pinboards, headphones, an...

Horsham is hosting a Paralympics flame event on this Saturday morning in Horsham Park if anyone (else) is interested in going.

Thanks yadayada, I will remind her that she can email her homework directly over to her teachers.

Windows enabled tablets are like the iPad, but with windows office on them ie PowerPoint, excell and word which they use at school, and are generally cheaper than the iPad. They can also get onto the wifi to access the school network. We want dd to have a laptop so she can watch DVDs - the day room ...
