Had parents evening today for my DD1, who is 5 and G&T in reading and phonics and bright in other areas.
I queried the numeracy targets for this term as they are not challenging for my DD (they are listing 5 activities in the other that they happen during the day, and telling the time to the hour).
The teacher actually said that they can't set separate targets for our daughter, but that got me thinking - why not? If she had Special Educational Needs and couldn't achieve the targets, she would be set other appropriate targets. So why not at the other end of the scale?
What do other schools do about target-setting and the activities that are needed to achieve them? I'm not obsessed with targets in themselves, but don't think DD is going to progress much if she's not got goals that will challenge her this term?
Thanks
Katharine
