DS will start Y1 in September. He is deemed G&T across a number of areas, but his teacher's view is that his language, understand of the world, ability to think things through and express himself are particularly 'outstanding'.
He has not been stretched or well motivated through reception, and this is only just now being address by his teacher (who I like very much!) since I have had a few meetings to find out what he is actually doing and how we can all help.
DS isn't flourishing in the free-flow learning/play environment any more and is ready for more structured learning. I am hoping wondering if Y1 is very similar to reception with lots of play at the beginning or if it is much more structured - ie. more of the sit a table and do a set piece of work style of schooling....
I'd be really interested to hear others experiences...
