DS (5.10yo) has been recognised as gifted in maths and literacy by the school. They have said that they will be doing extra things with him both in and out of school to help develop them further... but is there anything else i should be doing or could be doing?
He's also been moved up to year 2 (currently year 1 student) for his phonics lessons every day, and there's talk of him being moved up a whole year if he continues to excel his peers. It's never happened before at the school, and i dont know anyone else it's happened to, anyone on here got any advice?
DD1 (4.6yo) is being taught by DS's reception teacher from last year and he's said the way she's going she's going to do exactly the same as DS too...
I'm finding it a bit overwhelming to be honest. I never really thought any of my DC's would be 'gifted'... I mean, I've always thought they were intellegent, but would never have called them 'gifted'.
In all honesty we've spent the last week telling them how proud we are, and letting them brag to the family about how well they're doing... but it's just really sinking in that maybe i should or could be doing something to help them more than we already do...
