That’s lovely news, how exciting to have a placement overseas for your DD. It’s so good to see that the oversea placements are able to go ahead again
Great news that your younger daughter has found accommodation for next year. That’s always a worry, which is why Georgia and her friends were happy to stay in their house for years 2 and 3. They’re a little worried as it’s now January and many houses get signed up before Christmas in Bristol, but Georgia hadn’t heard about her masters until this week so they couldn’t really commit until now. They have found 3 that they want to view, it’s just a case of arranging it with such a busy workload too. That’s another reason why it’s good that your DD has got hers sorted, she can just concentrate on the work now xx |

Dd just started exams - these count towards her final degree.
It is hard to believe that it is nearly 3 years since we were all fretting about them all starting Uni! |

Hasn’t the time gone so quickly? Who would have imagined how strange their time at uni would have been back then?
Good luck to your DD for her exams xx Georgia has hers early June, that will be the very last part of the degree for her. What is your DD hoping to do afterwards? |

I love Germany (my DS was born there!) so I think your DD will have a fab time!
Well done on your 19yo finding her house for next year! Sounds like a lot of work for her to get the best results for her placements!

Not really much fun to have exams just after Christmas! Does she finish this year?

DS has been on the move! He finished his exams on 15/12 and flew to Vancouver on 16/12 for 2 weeks (His best friend is from there!) Then on 30/12 he flew to LA. He has an exchange term at the University of Southern California. He is in a flat with the other exchange students about a15 minute walk from the campus.
Over the weekend he managed a NBA game (again a 15m walk) and a hike upto the Hollywood sign. Yesterday he saw one of the space shuttles! His classes have started but are online this week! That doesn’t seem to be stopping him🤣 I am hoping to go out to see him at the end of February as I haven’t seen him since the beginning of September. Over summer he will be in London as he has an internship. If we are lucky he may be home for a week between finishing in LA and starting his internship! He is a busy boy. He still has his final year to do! |

He is very busy! Sounds like a great time, and study in different places must be so broadening as everywhere has a different slant on just about any subject. DD is really looking forward to Germany to learn about the works of Marx from the point of view of those at the place he studied. |

DD has her final day at her teaching placement tomorrow. She’s been in a year 5 class and has absolutely loved it. Her mentor teacher has been really helpful, she’s going to be very sad to finish.
She is arranging to go back for a couple of sessions to observe the younger children as her dissertation is based on outdoor learning in the foundation phase. She now has a few months of lectures, with some essays, a presentation and her dissertation to complete so it’s going to be a busy time for her. She will also have to start looking for jobs for September, they have all been told to be prepared for supply work to start but it would be amazing if she could get something a bit more long term. Good luck to everyone, it’s been a very strange three years for them.

What a fantastic opportunity your son is having, such an amazing trip. I do hope you manage to get out to see him (and the sights there too 😃 )
It will be good to be able to see him during the summer too when he’s in the UK, either by him coming over to France or you could visit him here in the UK. |
