RESOURCES YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS
Last night’s Easter Workshop was a real eye-opener for many parents. But first- read this TILL THE END because that is where you will find the MOST IMPORTANT information. One mum messaged me saying: “My husband joined the workshop this evening and said it was really good and informative. Thank you so much.” If you missed it or want to go over it again, here’s the replay:🎥 Watch the Replay And here’s the document I shared with all families:📄 Easter Strategy Document 🔐 If you're part of our LJ program, the replay is also saved in your Learning Vault here: Visit the Classroom (You’ll find it under the Educator Sessions section.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🧪 Trial Lessons Today We have trial lessons today: - Year 4 at 5 PM - Year 5 at 6 PM If you want your child to try a session or would like a demo of the full program, just reply to this post, and I’ll send everything over.

Book Club April : Boy Giant Son of Gulliver
Hello Everyone, Hope you all are doing well !! Finally Spring is in the air. Very happy to see long and bright days. 🤩 The yellow carpet of daffodils 💐all around the city is definitely a sign for better days. Usually when we think of giants 👹, huge monstrous characters are what comes to our mind. There are exceptions like the Genie in Aladdin, Roald Dahl's Big Friendly giant who are friendly and admired by all. I wonder whether babies think adults as giants 🤔? Can a boy be a giant ? But for whom? This is what we find out from this book Boy Giant by Michael Morpurgo. I always admired authors who introduce very serious topics to kids in a way that they can understand. Michael Morpurgo is one of them. Please try to read it before the book club and we can discuss further 😉Spoiler Alert: You would definitely be chanting some words after finishing the book. Also I would like you to think about 1) Giants you have come across 2) Mini characters you admired in stories Title: Boy Giant Son of Gulliver Author: Michael Morpurgo Looking forward to talk to you all Happy Reading 📖

Here’s What One Determined Family Did- Plan, Prep, Mocks etc etc
A parent joined our Year 5 program this month, deciding to aim for one of the most competitive schools in North West London—a school where over 2,500 children take the entrance test. The competition is intense, but what floored me was her drive. I’ve known her family since we moved to the UK 17 years ago, and I was freshly blown away by their determination. No tuition background. Just 4 months to go, while others prep for at least a year. Yet, she’s diving in with a clear plan and laser focus. She didn’t ask what mock tests to book. She’d already done her research. She just needed help choosing the right provider. That’s what focus looks like. For all Year 5 parents: Now is the time to get strategic about mocks. Book mock tests (they fill up fast!) Mock tests are a crucial part of 11+ preparation. They help your child get used to the pressure, timing, and format of the real exam. Tip: Book a few across different months to track improvement—not just one-off tests. Aim for a mix of providers if possible, and secure your spots early as they often sell out! Learn how to analyse results effectively It’s not just about the score. Look at: - Which sections your child struggled with - Time management (did they finish?) - Patterns—are the same question types causing issues? Use each test as a springboard for progress Every mock is a learning opportunity. Once you know where your child needs support: - Adjust your revision plan - Practice weak areas with targeted exercises - Celebrate small wins to boost confidence. Mocks aren’t the end; they’re stepping stones to help your child grow stronger and smarter with every attempt. - - Parents on our programme use our Mock Test Module to break this down with clarity. It’ll help you move from “what went wrong?” to “what can we do next?” Links to the following below
