Ts new class will be mixed with the year above him

Subject: Ts new class will be mixed with the year above him 6/7/2007, 11:41 am

Hi guys

T goes into Juniors in September Shocked

how quick he is growing up? its really scarey! Any how he will be going into a class that is mixed with yr 4's (he will be yr 3 in September). They say they put children who are more able academically with the yr 4's like this because they can do the work and it has always been like this in their school.

Im pleased that T will be more academically challenged and hopefully gain a lot from being in a class like this, has anyone elses child been mixed with a higher year?

Sadly, no experience, but I know for a fact that this would appeal to Charlotte as she much prefers the company of children who are not the same age as her. Not that she could do the work though!! (bless her!)

Awww bless her, thanks anyway mum2c Smile

Thanks funkymamu its good to hear that it does worlk well and im sure it will be ok for T as he does need challenging when it comes to school work.

For Sarah ref Firefox!!
* I can't see a 'favourites' button only a 'bookmark' one! Any shortcut to getting the favourites on explorer to firefox? (I have a long list)!

* Do I need to uninstall 'explorer' now?

* Why & how is Firefox better & safer than explorer?

More to follow as I think of them!! xx

file->import will transfer all your bookmarks from IE

No dont uninstall IE but set FF as your default browser though

Firefox updates a lot more often the IE so therefore you dont get so many security vulnerabilities
