Hi there, I'm new to this, this being my first posting!
My son (is that ds, I may need some help with your shorthand!) age 5 has just finished Reception year and has started what should be year 1, in a mixed class of year 1 & 2. It's called 2xx and all activities (trips, plays, p.e etc) are done with year 2.
I wondered if anyone else had experience of mixed year group classes and what the pros and cons are, and anything I ought to look out for.
He is a very amenable little chap, having spent some time every week in nursery since he was 4 months old. He spent 2 days every week this summer hols in a "kids club" where most days he was the youngest with other children of up to 9 years old. I have said to his teacher you could put him in year 4 and he's happily sit there and try and do the best he could!
I had no real concerns about this, until tonight - the first parents evening - where a lot of parents were raising issues I hadn't even thought of - which has led me here!!
I would be very grateful for anyones opinions.
Thanks
