@AldersleyHighSc love these posts from Susie some really interesting words.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

This is your regular reminder that to 'quiddle' (18th century) is to spend all your time attending to trivial things, as a way of avoiding the important ones.

[Mrs M Kirk @MrsMKirk1]

To my child and all year 6 students this week. You've worked hard all year practising with mocks after mocks, attending extra lessons and homework too. Step into the exam hall with your head held high, take a deep breath and know you've got this year 6!
