Chucky Mama Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) My youngest of 3 is off at the Secondary school today for 1 of 2 induction days. He is so ready to go but I have spent the day faffing around (just look at how many posts I've made today if you don't believe me!) waiting for him to come home all day just like the day that my eldest went to primary school for the first time. It was lovely this morning though watching his brother and sister get him organised to catch the bus with them. Where does the time go, eh?

Egluntyne Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The end of an era....or a fresh start, for you and for him. I know just how you feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I know how you feel. My youngest is on day 2 of her induction. She went off as happy as Larry this morning when her friend called for her. They were collecting various other friends along the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 My youngest's induction day is next Tuesday. His words to me this morning on the way to school were "I wish you had a job" I asked why and he said "so that I can walk home on my own". I told him he was more than welcome to come home today on his own as its too hot for Cookie to have her walk. I'm redundant - I knew it was coming as of September but I thought he would have let me see this last school year out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 mine goes tomorrow bless him, he'll get on the school bus with older Son, he's looking forward to it. I have his parent evening tonight where I find out what form he's in etc and pick up his uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 YS spent the day with his tutor group. He was not overly inspired by the boys who just messed around. Hopefully they will settle and he wont necessarily be 'set' with any of them anyway so he only needs to spend his mentoring/tutor time with them.

The Dogmother Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Rosie starts secondary school in September and has a week of transition starting on the 13th. She's really looking forward to it and sounds positive. When I started this job, she was just starting at primary school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 YS is at his induction day today, they put him on a different bus to his brother! so I ignored that and told him to get on the bus with my older son. I am in the process of trying to dort it out as there was an error apparantly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Wlle one, I would have put him on the same bus too. YS went off this morning without his temporary bus pass As sign of things to come . Thankfully big brother is the bus prefect so expect that he vouched for him. Unless he is still standing at the bus stop - haven't dared look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Don't start me off....... - I'm on to grandchildren now. I've looked after both Lauren and Jake for two days a week since they were a few months old and now after school and school hols. - we are close and they almost feel like my own..........Lauren had her induction day last week and has invited me to her Leavers Play next week........I'll be the one at the back.......blubbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 I know how you feel, not looking forward to YS's leaving service. We have had a child at the primary school for 11 years now - then end of an era. I think there will be some serious blubbing going on.

Chucky Mama Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Well, no more trial days. Today is the day! YS has gone off for his first real day at secondary school. Looked yummy in his new uniform. Today is for just year 7's and 11's so it is a quieter introduction. ES and DD are both at home and both gave him a lovely cuddel before he went down to the bus stop all on his lonesome. We all had to resist the urge to go down with him or crane our heads out of the window. Am currently trying to stop myself from phoning to see if he is on the bus! - Can't wait to hear all of his new tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 How did it go Chucky Mama? Did YS enjoy his day? My YS is off to school on Friday. He wants us to take him on the first day which is fine. I can't believe the time has come around now, it seems to have speeded up in the last two weeks (probably because we've been away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hope he enjoys his day! My DD doesn't start til Tuesday - and then she'll do 9am to 1.30pm. Short day to break them in. Wednesday is full time and timetabled so hopefully she'll soon get into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I hope everyone's children have a good first few days at their new schools. I, for the minute can be jammy, as I don't have to go to school anymore and start college next week on Thursday and am really excited!

Helly Welly Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Mini welly starts secondary school (called high school here, i feel a musical coming on ) tomorrow. I've been told i'm not allowed to walk with her to school but i am allowed to meet her to hear her news. The school is literally five minutes away so i don't need to worry about the journey. She's been soooo excited for the whole summer holidays, it's been agony Unfortunately, OH is flying to New York today so he'll miss her first day but i'm under strict instructions to take lots of photos of her in her uniform. She's even excited about that as she gets to wear a blazer for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 my YS son starts secondary school tomorrow and get s on the bus to go there, all the year 7's start back tomorrow and the rest of the school join them they day after, however my OS is walking to the bus stop to make sure YS gets on the crrect bus, as it's SO uncool having your mum about. I have had lots of mums calling me making sure they have all the right equipment.. becuase I have an older boy at the school... doesn't make me an expert but I do roughly know the ropes.. I start back at work tomorrow as well so I will be very buttterflies in stomach thinking of my YS starting his first day. He however is very nexcited to be going and cannot wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Aww, don't you just love how clean and shiny they look on their first day . Good luck to all your little ones (not so little any more!) My "little one" had his last ever first day back at school the other week . I felt a bit funny about that .

Chucky Mama Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Well he is home and amazingly he looks just as smart as when he left this morning - long may it last! He had a lovely day and it was great to see the other 2 welcome him home. DD made him a choccie cake and ES made him a cuppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
