Lauren & Sam

It’s not all caviar and baby wipes, mate

Exams

Both of the kids are being tested at school at the moment. Lauren has had formal SAT-like tests in English, Maths and Science, along with internal tests in ‘lesser’ subjects. She did well in the first two, and is awaiting the results for Science and the others. Sam is about to do various (mock, I think) tests, which he seems to be a little nervous about, though that could just be an attention thing. He’s being put in for level 6 (i.e. high school) Maths, which is something Lauren missed out on achieving by 1 mark during year 6. I’m pretty sure he’ll do great; we’ve always emphasised that these are just fun brain-teasers that they should try hard for, but not stress over.
