My son is in reception, and he is the smallest child in the school, even though he is a March birthday.
We have had a very odd term so far with him, and was wondering if anyone else has had these types of issues!
He is a boisterous, noisy child at home, but timid as a mouse in school. First term of school was ok, he was happy to play with his friends from playgroup. This term though the children were all moved into the 'big playground' after being segregated from the rest of the primary school beforehand.
First, he was sent to the headmasters office with his friend for playfighting (though he says he wasn't). Not sure either way - but surely a bit over the top for two 4 year olds??? He talks about it a lot.
Nxt, he has been worried about 2 older girls who have been following him around, trying t pick him up/love him/cuddle him. He is a big man at big school!! Well, that's what he thinks, but when I told the school, they did not deal with it or some time, and then they did it softly, softly - not telling the kids involved directly not to do it.
Now he has reverted back to holding onto teachers at break times. Now the school have asked me if everythings ok at home!!! Am cross with the school, but am I overreacting?
Help needed!!
