    Can any of the Key Stage 2 techers help.

    I have found a few Letts KS2 revision/study guides for Maths English and Science. They say they are the 2006 literacy framework (but I am sure they are not that old!) Will they be any good to anyone (and if so does anyone want them) or should I just fling.

    TIA

    Kaz.. I took ours into school and they were donated to a child from a low income family.. the rest of us had to buy them. They haven't changed from DS1 doing his and he is 21 next month!

    Binbag dance done, books and toys picked up, washing and pots all taken away.. almost enough floor in here to vacuum!!

    Thank you :)

    Munching crisps now as I'm bored. I swear I live in this house alone sometimes, well apart from doogie who's eaten as many as I have

    have signed up for BT infinity - at the moment I'm with 2 separate providers for landline and internet and I'm just at the end of the internet contract. Done through Quidco so it looks like cash back AND a voucher for Mr S!
    So, if I go missing...:rotfl:

    Nicoise salad made (may end up having it for tea if DH likes it), leftovers sorted for DS1 (tiny kitchen, so not enough space for two) and left over veggies and a few mushrooms turned into lunch for me with a bit of cream and peppered cream cheese. Need a yogurt and a cuppa now, so next HHC at 14.30 if anyone wants to join in.

    Only frogs left in the kitchen ... :o
