Hello everyone, I hope the children are settled back in school following the Easter break. As mentioned in last week's session, we've had some changes to the schedule over the next few weeks. I will be taking the children for Maths this evening and the following 2 weeks (May the 1st and 8th) will be English sessions. Normal service resumes thereafter. If there is any confusion, pleas consult the Calendar tab on the Skool website. Thanks for your understanding. I'm looking forward to seeing the group tonight at 6:45pm. Speak soon, Dale -

I hope your Easter break has started well. It’s already Wednesday, and this is usually the point where things either begin to take shape… or feel a little uncertain. If you’ve already made a timetable, that’s wonderful. If you haven’t, please don’t worry, you can still start now. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be simple and doable. A few focused sessions in the week. A clear idea of what to revise. And a little bit of consistency. That alone can make a big difference. If you do need a model timetable or a starting point, just reply to this email and I’m happy to share something with you. Also, a small note. It’s completely natural to ask around, speak to friends, and gather advice. Do that. But also take a moment to pause and ask, “Does this make sense for my child?” Not everything works for everyone. Trust yourself. And trust your child. Even if things haven’t gone as planned so far, it is never too late to reset, regroup, and move forward. Children have an incredible ability to bounce back when the environment around them feels calm and steady. And that starts with us. ⸻ P.S. A few things that parents have been asking me about recently especially great for this time of year... sharing here in case helpful * Atom Learning – I do have a discount for the first month- 10% if you’re looking for structured online practice https://atomlearning.com/p/VUlD4e56 * Creative Writing Course (with Sheena Ager) – recorded with a live critique element, and lovely feedback from parents so far. https://slagereducational.thinkific.com/?ref=6dcff4 * Reasoning Masterclass (with Dale Jenkins) – starting in 5 days, covering both VR and NVR in a very clear, structured way. https://the11plusjourney.co.uk/product/11-reasoning-holiday-mastery-classes-2-easter/ * 11+ Stress Session Replay (with Charlotte Watson) – now available with the workbook, for those who couldn’t attend live. https://the11plusjourney.co.uk/product/handle-11-stress/

I have sent an email to all those registered for April's Vocabulary to Comprehension Challenge. The challenge dates and time: 22, 23, 24TH April at 5.30 pm for 60 minutes each day. Here are some tips that may help whether youR child is on the challenge or not https://the11plusjourney.co.uk/how-can-you-practise-intentional-reading-with-your-child/ On a slightly different (but related note, because reasoning includes a lot of comprehending and vocabulary)...We have 2 last spaces for our reasoning masterclass beginning on April 6th. Book here https://the11plusjourney.co.uk/product/11-reasoning-holiday-mastery-classes-2-easter/ Details are here. This is great if your child is writing tests on these subjects. Please note that this is taught by Dale Jenkins (not Sheena Ager), for whom we have excellent reviews. The reviews are in our main WhatsApp group

I’m really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow for the 'Handle 11+ Stress' session. We’ll be starting promptly at 7:30pm, so do try to join a few minutes early if you can. I would really encourage you to attend live.There’s something about being present in the session that makes a real difference, and you’ll be able to take more away from it. In this session, we’ll be looking at stress from both sides. LJ families, please check the Calendar for the link. If you are not a LJ family, you can book your place by clicking this link https://the11plusjourney.co.uk/product/handle-11-stress/ Charlotte will be sharing practical ways to help your child feel calmer, more at ease, and able to manage pressure better. And I’ll be focusing on what you can do at home from an academic point of view, simple things like - how to review tests properly - how to structure your week - how to bring more clarity into your child’s preparation - Because often, when things feel more organised, stress naturally comes down for both parent and child. It will be a calm, practical session with things you can take away and start using straight away. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Hey everyone, new and old members, I hope you are all having a good Sunday. Tomorrow is the first day of the 3-day Vocabulary Challenge starting at 5:30 pm, London time. Our LJ families have access to the joining link on the SKOOL Calendar here. For the rest of the families who have registered, I have sent out email reminders with the joining link and instructions on what children need to get for tomorrow. @Sheena Ager has finalised the content and her handouts, which you will receive every day after the session, along with the day's replay. I have finished the edits on the workbook. Looking forward to tomorrow.🥳
