This week has been such a roller coaster with my personal life. My son finished his tests and is off on a holiday. The house is empty, and the cats are lost, hot and bothered- honestly, I am as well. I need to get away from this emptiness echoing in me and around me. So I have thrown myself into work mode. Apart from my interest in parenting and education, I do a few other things like property investment and management so things have been busy! I have been posting creative writing prompts with book references throughout the week. You can find them when you scroll through this community page. So this week I have finished/on course to finish 💥 sending emails to our mailing list to remind them of our book club meeting this Sunday with the lovely @Shameem Fathima . All details here OS community. DON'T FORGET- 30th June, 4pm 💥 the 50-page Creative Writing workbook that we are offering to parents who have signed up for it. 💥 emailing all who signed up to our creative writing challenge starting on July 1st with a Zoom link. @Mandy Broomhead and I are so excited about the challenge! 💥 putting together a revision plan template for July, August and September where parents get a revision plan with topics, and strategies to revise including things like tackling mistakes. All resources will be collated in the 'Revision' module 💥 revising the 'Mindset' module in the OS program with additional techniques to help children cope with the pressure and stress of exams. 💥 an interview with the lovely Charlotte Watson on the various ways to help children improve their well-being and balance exam pressure with mindfulness. 💥 Putting together something exciting for tutors and parents so they can find their best-matched tutors without the stress.

This will be great for the kids. It’ll be school days for many but sometimes you need to make a choice on what’s better. https://royalsociety.org/science-events-and-lectures/summer-science-exhibition/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=summerscience2024-fb&utm_content=pr-parents&fbclid=IwAR1g86tS8vyTvCyn_Sw-shu7K89ULpKkIgoAnwnpMte91i82aEqJtXntfkY_aem_AcYU2k8N-0w7BVsIhCN3J_ulssJvOiccRqDAzLWwaXeh8jLvSWuiGjBdF7T0GTrIZE-Z80Lx4A_9bl0B0WPSclg0&utm_id=120212158476230325&utm_term=120212158476280325

See, it is not work, just a challenge! 🥳 👑 🚄A vocab challenge 🚄A comprehension challenge 🚄A book club meeting It takes only 2 people to do all or any of the above. If you are more than 2, even better! Just go to the relevant courses and get the docs.
