Book Club Meeting June is happening in 19 hours

Book for the month of June - Thunder Struck by Ali Sparkes
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.... πŸ˜€ 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! πŸ˜€ 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.

Advice
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

Revision Module ready...with July and August plan templates
To all the parents of the OS program, the Revision module is now ready. πŸ₯³ It includes the July and August plan templates along with the previously published templates for April, May and June. I want you to go through this module and tell me what else you need apart from the content we have put together. A lot of it has been collated from the other modules so revision becomes easier. These are resources that will help you help your child as you enter the last couple of months before the tests. Let me know in the comments belowπŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ and we will consider it and do what we can. πŸ’« It can be anything so please don't hesitate and I will do my very best to add relevant content πŸ‘ My team have also emailed order details to all those who purchased the 'Plan and Revision' bundle from our website (which includes all of the things in the revision module and some from the planning module) as a reminder that the plan template document has been updated for July and August.😻
