just wanted to share this. my ds started in reception in september. even though i was pleased he was happy and really enjoying school, i found myself becoming bogged down by what book band he was on, how well he knew phonics etc.. This week his teacher arranged a drop in session where we could just go and observe our children at school. it was a great experience .there were lots of fun activities going on, all educational but without the children realising. it made me see things from a whole new perspective. phonics, reading and maths are such a small part of what school is about when you are 5. i feel really proud of my son for being happy and trying his best.
