School spelling tests
I don't know if they still do these in state school system but in Gracie's private school Monday is spelling test day. I had a phone call earlier because the teacher wanted to see just how far ahead Grace is so had asked our permission to test her with harder words. Phone call was to say she had passed her test but now they are talking about what to do with her ! Passed the test they set for 14 year olds so she's further ahead than any of us suspected. Maths don't ask her to add up the shopping list but English, History, Languages she is miles ahead.
They are talking about an accelerated learning plan only two others are being put forward in the entire school for, but she has to improve her maths.
So we have to look at extra tuition for the maths side of her education, funded by us as her bursary won't cover it.
I have had an offer of extra hours so it might be possible with Steven's new job paying a bit more too.
Yes I'm bragging, I can't say how proud I am of her pulling herself up in this way, after all she's been through she's proving she has what it takes I think. Her mum would have been so happy to see her doing well and that has brought a tear to my eyes so I'll stop typing before I get the laptop wet.
