  3. I write the questions at the end of the term. I noticed I was getting formulaic with them this time round though. I will try to do a better job next term!

    You'll find all of AO1 and AO2 to date under the Our Curriculum tab above, and if you click on the Examinations category at the right you'll get some of Jemimah's actual answers as well.

    We do exams at the end of each 12 week term.

  4. You were the inspiration behind adding exams to our CM education and I'm glad we did. Does Jemimah continue to enjoy her exams as much as we enjoy reading about them?

    Funny pangram!

  7. Thank you for your exam! We haven't followed AO2 exactly this year because I have too many kids too close to the same age to do all the reading of AO0, AO1 and AO2, but this gives me a jumping off point. Love your blog!

I'd love you to leave me a message. Tell me what you like - and what you don't. Just remember that this is what we do in our family - it doesn't have to be what you do in yours...
