Spanish — Maintenance slot in the Monday 15:00 block, 15:02-15:30 (28 min by the clock), opened on session 93's plan. Whole 8-word Set 3 recall round, one word per message, mixed directions, cold: pelearse (with -se), criticar, entenderse (with -se), el familiar, and the meanings of discutir, llamarse and divorciarse ('a divorse': meaning right, given as a noun) right first go; 'to look like (someone)', told it needs two words -> 'parecerse' without a (as 9 Oct), 'parecerse a' after a hint. Round 7/8 first go (87.5%) in 12 min, most replies under a minute. Then two reflexive sentences, no pattern shown, capital and full stop asked for up front: 'Mi hermano se llama Luis.' fully right first go. 'I get on with my friends.' -> 'Me congeniar mis amigos.' (off-list verb as on 8 Oct, unconjugated, no con). Asked for the list word she typed 8 min earlier: 'i don't know because i don't have the list'. Narrowed with 'starts ent, ends -se': 'entenderse'; I-form: 'me entendo' (-o hers, untaught); told e becomes ie; then 'Me entiendo con mis amigos.' right, con unprompted. Capitals and full stops right on 3 of 3 sentences (1 of 4 on 9 Oct). Read-aloud of 'Mi hermano se llama Luis.' twice confirmed 'done' at 15:29; bundled ll sound question not answered. 10 items set, 10 attempted, 0 blank at close, 1 'i don't know' answered once narrowed: 8 first go, 2 after hints. Not run: mi/tu/su teach (G06), any reading. Updates shown at 15:30; she said 'log it'. Practice run 83 logged alongside. Topic updates (T01, G25, G06, G21, P04) follow in separate calls because the single call returned Bad Gateway twice.

English Language — The learner's timed handwritten piece on a forest prompt became a short sequence of events at a camp and a cave and scored 15/40 (attempt 17), with one paragraph break placed at the one shift. Ran against the Tuesday timed handwritten block, 13:03-14:01. Maths homework 8 named at the open. Before the timer, one message each: four things for the scene (four given, 8 minutes after the opening message); the paragraph line, typed back word for word; plan on paper, 5 minutes set, about 7 used; structure word asked: a place first, then cyclical picked from three options. Write window cut by the clock from 35 to 30 minutes, 13:26-13:55; two photos at 13:57 with no message; about 98 words in two paragraphs. Task: describe a forest early on a winter morning, one place, one moment, nothing happens. The piece opens at nightfall, never names the forest and has five actions; two of the four planned things appear. Plan in the photo: mood, places on the structure line, senses, the paragraph line; last line blank. One named check: the letter after each comma, reported 0, verified 0 of 2 (6 Oct: 2 capitals). Marked the same sitting: ideas and shaping 8/24 (Level 2 lower), accuracy 7/16 (Level 2); 6 Oct was 12 and 8. Six spellings given with aids after marking, not typed back. 1 writing task set, 1 attempted, 0 blank. Two closing lines written. No status changes. Session 97's story task stays open; the reading-block plan from 9 Oct is carried forward unrun. Topic evidence and the lesson review follow in separate calls because the single call returned Bad Gateway twice.
Spanish — Maintenance slot in the Tuesday 15:00 block, opened 15:09 (9 min into the block), closed 15:29: 20 min by the clock. Opened on session 98's plan. Maths homework 8 (overdue) named once at the open. Two sentences, cold, one per message, no pattern or hint shown, capital and full stop asked for up front: 'I look like my mother.' -> 'Me parezco a mi madre.' fully right first go at 15:12 (a present; it was missing on 9 and 12 Oct). 'I get on with my brother.' -> 'Me entiendo con mi hermano.' fully right first go, entenderse retrieved with no cue, ie and con hers (12 Oct: 'Me congeniar mis amigos', right only after three hints). That reply arrived at 15:27, 15 minutes after the task was set: not known whether she was away or working. Capitals and full stops right on 2 of 2. Read-aloud of both sentences twice confirmed 'done' at 15:28. ll question asked as its own message (l or y in llama?): 'y', right, answered within a minute. 3 scored items set, 3 attempted, 0 blank, no 'I don't know': 3 right first go. Not run: a reflexive sentence she has never seen before, the mi/tu/su teach (G06, owed since 9 Oct), a v word, any reading. No new content taught. Proposed updates shown at 15:29; she said 'log it'. Practice run 86 logged alongside.

Spanish — Maintenance slot in the Thursday 11:30 block, opened 11:32 (2 min into the block); block ended 11:45, 13 min by the clock. Opened on session 103's plan: the one cold item before the mi/tu/su teach. One sentence, cold, no pattern or hint shown, capital and full stop asked for up front, a she-form reflexive on a verb other than llamarse: 'My sister fights with my brother.' -> 'Mi hermana se pelearsa con mi hermano.' at 11:43, 11 min after it was set. Right: Mi hermana, se moved in front of the verb, con mi hermano, capital and full stop. Wrong: the verb left as the infinitive with -a stuck on ('pelearsa') instead of the she-form 'pelea'. Hint given at 11:43 (the -se is already out as se, so what is left is pelear; she-form ends like se llama) with 2 min left in the block; no reply came. 'Log it' arrived at 15:14. 1 sentence set, 1 attempted, 0 blank, no 'I don't know': 4 of 5 elements right, verb form not got. Not run: the retry, the mi/tu/su teach (G06, owed since 9 Oct, now not reached 12, 13 or 15 Oct), ll in a different word, a v word, any read-aloud, any reading. No spoken Spanish this slot. No new content taught. Practice run logged alongside.

English Literature — Lit quotation retrieval block 31, 11:40-11:56 (16 min), 10 items set, 9 attempted, 0 blank, 1 not read (The Prelude home reading not done, so its question could not be asked). 7 right first time, 1 after one two-way nudge, each inside its stated limit. London first line cold: 'I wander thro' each charter'd street' - capital I, thro' and charter'd all right, the first fully clean cold run (lower-case i on 29 Sep, 6 and 8 Oct). Ozymandias pedestal inscription cold, 2 min: words and line break right, 'dispair' and lower-case 'mighty'; despair retyped right. Spelling gap-fills (scaffold: word in its line with the first letters given), one per message: soldier's, because, afraid 3/3. Next wife 'he will kill her' under a minute, third cold ask running. Charter'd describes 'a street and the Thames' 1/1. Who kills Macbeth: Macduff at once; why he could: 'none born of a woman can kill him but macduff was born from a c-secion' - 'born of a woman' cold for the first time (missing from step 7 on 12 Oct). Soldier's sigh feeling: 'annojed' first, 'fed up' from a worn-out/annoyed choice - retry. Typed slips: dispair, annojed, c-secion, 'quotain revew'; names: macduff lower case. Close: one line ('i did a quotain revew and next it lunch'). Practice run 91 logged alongside with per-item outcomes. No status changes.
Spanish — Maintenance slot in the Friday 13:45 block, opened 13:45 on time, closed 14:01 (16 min by the clock); stopped early by choice with the weekly review next. Opened on session 110's plan and ran all of it. 15 Oct's sentence finished cold with the standing hint: 'pelea' in 2 min, 'Mi hermana se pelea con mi hermano.' read aloud twice, confirmed 'done' (the bundled silent-h question not answered). Then the teach owed since 9 Oct: mi/tu/su (G06). Teaching question 'tu hermano' -> 'your brother' 1/1; hinted 'su madre' and 'su tía' (accent typed) 2/2; unaided, no table shown, capital and full stop asked for: 'Tu hermana se llama Ana.' and 'Su hermano se parece a su madre.' both fully right first go, a after parecerse unprompted. Reverse check 'tu tía' -> 'your aunt' 1/1. Reading: no stored short text exists, so a four-line text built only from met words (llamarse, pelearse, entenderse, tranquila, mi/tu/su) read aloud twice, comprehension 'who does Luis's sister fight with?' -> 'her mother' 1/1. Sounds: qu in tranquila -> 'qu as in quick', 0/1, told hard k with silent u; v in vive -> 'v', 0/1, told soft b; both corrected and re-said. The v question bundled with 'done' was not answered, then answered alone within a minute (same pattern as 12-13 Oct). 10 items set, 10 attempted, 0 blank, no 'I don't know': 7 first go, 1 after the standing hint, 2 not got. Replies 1-3 min each. Capitals and full stops right on 2 of 2 sentences. Not run: ll in a word other than llama; -ar endings teach (G21). Practice run 92 logged alongside.

Missed

Done, but short

Done, but not the shape the block asked for

A missed block means nothing was logged against it, which is sometimes a logging failure rather than a missed morning. Movement and the review block are never listed here: they are ticked or they are not, and not ticking one costs nothing. A block marked by hand is Dad's word that it happened, counted apart from the blocks the record proves. An extra never offsets a miss; it is counted beside it.

Decisions for Dad

Decided in the review chat, never here. This page has no button that changes the record — tracker_excuse_block and tracker_decide_day_off are Dad's, in chat.

open Ten steps of the Macbeth plot cold with nothing on screen: 12 Oct's list matched the lines already in the chat, so recall is unverified. Step 7 still lacks 'born of a woman'. Paragraph work not reached; no break taken. Not asked: whether Act 1 Scene 3 was read at home. (session 96, 21 days)
open Paragraph's why sentence still vague (what the 'horrid image' is of, why it worries the audience); quote not recalled cold. Ten plot steps cold on paper not run (owed since 12 Oct). Sc 3 'horrid image' aside to end still not read from the text. (session 116, 14 days)
open Exit-ticket paragraph feedback not actioned: quote not embedded, method not named. Quote 'seem to fear' not recalled cold. Her two closing lines not seen. Ten plot steps cold still owed. (session 118, 14 days)

T01 Identity and relationships — divorciarse as a verb in a sentence still owed; whole Set 3 round not before 2 Nov.

Wednesday vocab and listening block missed; -ar endings teach (G21) owed; qu and v sounds, ll in another word; divorciarse as a verb in a sentence.— Claude, Fri 16 Oct 21:04

Coverage is weighted by status and measured against today's syllabus, so an older week reads against the topics that exist now. The line is the eight weeks ending with this one, scaled to its own range.

In the margin — the week's review

Written, not computed

One note per week, append-only. Version 1 of 1, written by the Friday routine on Friday 16 October at 21:04.

Held

Untimed repair held after Wednesday's paper: maths bracket expansion right 3/3 alone and inside an inequality, squares 3/3 cold; CS why-hex 2/2 cold for the first time (1/2 on 6, 13 and 15 Oct), a binary sum by hand right, a trace table laid out from headings alone; Lit London first line cold and clean, K3.1 gap to developing on two unaided items; Spanish possessives gap to developing. Established this week: CS and Lang 'accuracy drops in production, not recall'; CS 'answers half of a two-part instruction'.

Slipped

Under the clock the repairs did not show. Wednesday's paper skipped the 8-mark Ozymandias paragraph and the 5-mark Python program with 15 minutes unused on each, maths Q6 (4 marks) got one restating sentence, and nothing was quoted from the poem in Lit. Tuesday's timed Lang piece drifted into events, off the prompt, Level 2 and below 6 Oct. Unaided Lang quotations again gave events, no word, no effect. Missed: Mon CS Python, Wed Spanish vocab. Two retrieval blocks ran short; three blocks closed with no topic update.

Next week

Next Tuesday's timed piece is the Lit essay (rotation: Lang Q5 ran this week). Thursday's deep block falls to maths (odd ISO week 43). Start by putting a first line on every extended question in timed work, since skipping with time unused is the loss the paper showed. Make up the lost CS Python block and the Spanish -ar endings teach (G21), owed since 9 Oct.

Rotation next
