Much later than most of the board kids, DS7 started his school term today. He'd been anxious about it, as he's newly in the big-kids part of the school ["I'm going to be terrible at everything!" - err, no] but the day seems to have gone well, apart from his having managed to lose his diary already. Meeting with his new maths and science teacher on Friday; wish us luck. Her email read rather stiffly, but DS had a lesson with her today, and she had something appropriate for him to do, and he liked her and it; I'm assuming (trying hard to assume!) that it's just that people who don't conduct their entire lives through email the way DH and I do often write stiff emails (particularly, perhaps, to the scarier parents ;-)

ETA: the headmaster found his diary for him, and we bumped into the maths/science teacher who in person seems lovely. All's well with the world :-)
