Thank you to everyone who joined the meeting. We had a good time discussing the book 'Thunderstruck' that our presidential team @Shameem Fathima and children had chosen. Thank you very much @Shameem Fathima and to A and M who hosted the meeting and led the discussion. ❤️ I loved how you highlighted how the author of 'Thunderstruck 'wrote several books, mostly in libraries. I am sure that motivated many of us to go find a quiet place and get work done. We also heard from the fabulous L, @Mansi Jain's son who is writing two books, one with his friends and one by himself. That was super inspiring L and has given me so much hope for my book! We learnt a new word 'poltergeist'- does anyone know what it is? Maybe you can find out? We found amazing things that people would do if they had superpowers including us mums who would love to finish the tasks on our to-do lists 🥳 @Kasthuri Venugopalan and I agree on that! The book may be available in your local library or on Amazon https://amzn.to/3xAXudv The recording of the meeting is available to parents on the OS program in the Book Club module https://www.skool.com/the-11-plus-journey-6704/classroom/5d069d57?md=a0b0312811fe4126b4fb20ab252631a8 Have a lovely rest of your Sunday!👍 @Mega Arumugam and team, it is your turn to be the host for July. The date would be 28th July.❤️

All emails have been sent out and all those who registered should have received your zoom link and booklet to be used for the 5 days. @Mandy Broomhead and I will see you all soon . ❤️

Comprehension is a big part of the 11-plus tests. It is the core of your dream school tests. Without it, it is like running on a sprained ankle—hopping, skipping, and ultimately falling over. If you are interested in your child attending, please fill out this form https://forms.gle/t3pryv3F99VMz2fA6 Comprehension is communication. Communication is possible not just through words but also visuals in the head that words can make. In our 5-day challenge, children will learn how to use techniques to get better at answering comprehension questions. I want your children to turn comprehension on its head, from a stumbling block to a stepping stone. It is free if you are part of the 11+ Journey OS course for parents. If you are not part of the course and you want to get your child to join the comprehension challenge, become a member of our free group. Then message me to find out how your child can join the challenge. ❤️

Dear OS Parents! Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday and I am sure there would be a day out planned ahead! Thanks to the good weather! With @Sabah Hadi's encouragement, I am happy to run the book club meeting for this month. A brief about me - Juggling between multiple roles of being a mom of 3, IT professional, wife and daughter, 11+ teacher to my children and so on.... 😀 I know most of us are in the same boat travelling together! All the best to everyone in their journey! I have a boy who is going to sit for the 11+ exam this Sep and a girl who is currently in Year 3 and will start her preparations next year, after I take a break from my son's exam prep! 😀 My children suggested the below book and we are going to work as a team to make it more interesting! In fact, I might be just overlooking while they will be running the show mainly! We selected this book as it sounded quite interesting and might have lots of deep conversations ahead. Book: Thunder Struck Author: Ali Sparkes Sneak Peek into the book: What if your new best friend was a ghost? Getting struck by lightning whilst huddling under a tree isn't exactly the way 2 friends would have chosen to get out of their sports day . . .Surviving the strike makes them see life differently. A fun and fast-paced ghostly mystery with lightning strikes, floating phantoms, and four fantastic friends just trying to get on with their everyday lives . . . or deaths . . . Yes, its a sci-fi book talking about supernatural powers! Hope you find it an interesting read. Let's catch up end of this month and discuss more about the book and such paranormal powers. No worries, if you have not read this book, but we can talk about similar books which you have had a chance to read! Looking to see you all and have an interesting interaction with all lovely children! Have a lovely Day and a great week ahead! Thanks Shameem.

Hi! New to this group, so hello everyone! My son will be going into year 4 in September and I want to start him on the 11 plus journey so I am currently looking at tuition options and maybe some online apps/tools if anyone can recommend? I keep seeing Atom Learning and Examberry popping up on my facebook and was wondering if anyone on here has used these tools as part of the learning process for the 11 plus and do you recommend? I have no idea how to start this journey so any advice given is welcome. My son seems quite confident in Maths and seems to enjoy this (he is in the top set at school) so I would like to continue to encourage this with him but it’s English I am more concerned with as he seems to lack confidence yet he is a strong reader (currently reading Harry Potter books). Thank you! X
