It’s only the 2nd December and Christmas seems to have exploded in my life…

Today we're off out for our first Christmas meal of the season as it's my sister's birthday! Woo! Looking forward to the stuffing (and the pudding).

So you'll see we've been busy this week... Sue has been wonder woman and pulled our first GPS assessments out of the bag and Sian's worked on this a lot too, making sure it's top notch. We're going to be producing scaled scores for these in early 2019 if we get enough data, so when you've done your tests, submit your data to us! I'll be doing a Facebook Live on these resources later in the week.

Everything else that you see on this week's email is all about us getting ahead of you for the Spring term while you take time to consolidate, complete your assessments and take a look at the wealth of Christmas resources that we have. We'll also be throwing in some more SATs practice questions before we break up.

Here at CSHQ we have a little competition going on with the Christmas decorations. Ed and I will be judging later on in the month to crown one team the winner. I'll be honest, I've seen more serious discussion about this around the office than I have for planning new resource lines.

Well I best leave you to your day. If you're anything like us, everything will have just ramped up now it's December. I'm not used to 'Christmas' starting so early. So much responsibility right now... Elf on the shelf arrived in our house for the first time yesterday so we've him to sort out, we've to get all the Christmas decorations up in the day time and then rearrange them to look presentable at night, we've to accept packages delivered to the door and stash them in a cupboard, I could go on... Santa doesn't make it easy, does he?

Love Claire and the team at Classroom Secrets.
