Parents Evening

Last night was Erin's last parents evening before her GCSEs later this year. It went very well. All the teachers we saw were very positive and said she was doing really well... mind you she hadn't made appointments for us to see her RE and Welsh teachers (her two worst subjects!!).

First was Science. She had a C in her mock exams and is predicted a B in GCSE. Next was IT she has already got an A and has been put in for a second exam which she is also predicted an A in... I wonder where she gets her love of computers from??

Art was next. Last year she was pretty negative about it and didn't try very hard on modules she was set, but this year it was a completely different story. Her teacher said her attitude had changed completely and she was working really hard and doing well.

In Maths she had a B in the mock but the teacher was sure that she was capable of an A with the right amount of revision. I was dreading seeing her English teacher as she was the one involved in the incident last year when she got excluded, but she couldn't have been nicer, she said Erin was working hard and her attitude had improved 100%. She had a B in her Language mock but and E in the Literature but she is very capable of getting a much better mark than that in the actual exam. All her teachers commented on how much she has matured in the last 6 months and how her attitude has changed... maybe Martin is a good influence on her!!!

I'm off to bed in a minute ready for my night watch tonight. The Management in their wisdom have restored Facebook BUT...... and it is a very big BUT..... they have issued a memo saying that Port Control staff are NOT allowed to use it while on duty.... I would have preferred they had just left it blocked... knowing its there and not being able to use it is TORTURE!!!....... THE EGGS, THE EGGS THEY ARE CALLING!!
