Ros, I honestly was stumped...I had no clue with that one, I eventually worked the 6/7 one out. This is really silly, no child should be put under that much stress, what happened to making learning fun, Rio's is panicking like mad

when I was in school we didn't do sentence clauses etc which they are now re-introducing and its not easy stuff and poor Rio no wonder he is worried if he has to  do  a test like the bit I saw

that is ridiculous - we don't do SATS here  - only Literacy numeracy tests and although not easy not nearly as difficult as the English SATS

I'm watching a thing about calories and drink

he does have that one to do Ros and like you said it's really complicated for kids to get to grasps with. Saying that, I've forgotten load and I was stumped with brain freeze, funnily enough the education secretary couldn't answer the question put to him, he said it wasn't about him....I was gobsmacked, if adults are struggling how are kids supposed to get to grips with it so quickly

how much booze did that involve? I sometimes just drink vodka on a saturday nights and have really cut down on wine. Vodka is empty cals and a lot less than wine
