We started our first ‘school block’ this week. A school block is a period of six to eight weeks when we work the mornings of four days a week. This block we are doing roughly two tutoring periods a day. A tutoring period is when Mum helps us with a subject that we are learning. So I have only had time for two Maths tutoring periods, one Chemistry tutoring period, and one Astronomy tutoring period. All three are subjects I am planning to take at GCSE, along with English Language, English Literature, and Physics.
So far, apart from a few distractions in the form of my youngest brother, Alexander, it’s all going really well,and I’m really enjoying it.
