Last week of school for the kids

Finally the last week of school for the kids is upon us. Fiona was in a school play titled "The Story Thief" which a story thief steals the words off of all the story books. The children then must tell their stories to get them back. It was quite enjoyable. Bronwyn won a medal for third place in the schools sports day! She is quite the active athlete. Enay has been moved up to Oxford Reading Stage 6 which is a second grade reading level. Really impressive for someone that is only five! Gareth is waiting for school to return as he knows I will put him to work over the summer break.

Wendy is home in the evenings now from the Dorchester Dig. She has one week left there, then some time off before she must go to the Isle of Wight for a month long dig at Brading Roman Villa.

I got my final marks in from school. I got three firsts, two 2.1 and one 2.2

Translated (roughly) that means

Honours Class 1 = A
Honours Class 2.1 = B/A-
Honours Class 2.2 = C
Honours Class 3 = D
Fail = F
Bad Fail = Laughed at, tarred, feathered, and ran out on a rail

I would not have gotten the 2.2 except I panicked on my first exam as I had no clue what was expected of me. That class we got marks only for the final exam, there was no course work. So between the two 3 hour exams I did horrid on the first with a low 2.2, but got a 2.1 on the second (one point away from being a first). Live and learn I guess.

I did much better than I thought, now I need to decide if I'm going back next year.
