Can anyone's children remember whether there is a timed story which has to be written in the initial assessment? My ds who is at the school can't remember :?

I'm swaying between panicking that my ds2 will get in, and panicking that he won't!

Hi I am sure dd had to do a piece of creative writing from a suggested title but I can't remember if there was a choice of subject, if just one was set or if it was their own choice. Sorry to be vague but it was nearly 3 years ago now :?

Both my others had no choice - it was a passage and they had to continue the story. See you on Saturday Pinkhebe. Hope we recognise each other as it has been nearly a year! Mind you, I will have DD with me as well as older son. We are on the afternoon session; how about you?

We're in the morning! I suspect though most of the morning will be spent in the car park reading my book, as I have to wait until 11am when son 1 finishes for half term, and then have to wait around for another hour and a half before collecting son no2 from the assessment :roll:

We had the afternoon session, ended up requesting a late pick up for Ds, so we didn't spend the entire day driving up & down the a281!

All done now, just got to get through the next two weeks until results. Dd so desperately wants to follow her brother, she was nervous going in & her usual non committal self coming out!! Me - I still feel vaguely sick. With ds if he got a place it was a major bonus, with dd she'll be devastated if she's not offered a place. We are trying to mange her expectation as best as possible, but it's really, really difficult.
