"What a dashing fella!"

Not that I want to be a pain and put a dampener on your parade, but it’s coming to that time of year where year 6 have to start revising for their summer tests.

I know it seems early, but a little bit everyday is better than a lot at the last minute, it’s also much less stressful, so take your pick. Comon sense says, “Start sooner rather than later.” and it has my vote.
