My ds is 4.5 and doing half days in the pre reception year at a local school. He's been there since September. He seems happy when we collect him and there are no issues from the school. However, given a choice he wouldn't go, he often asks if 'he has to go to school today'. He doesn't chat about anything from school enthusiastically. Questions about his day reach a brick wall. Is this normal? I'd love it if he was really keen and excited but he'd just rather be with us. I wonder if the school is too strict and structured. He said the other day 'we just have to sit down all day'. Now I no that's not true but there is some of that-assembly, registration, circle time etc. He hates being told off so basically tows the line behaviour wise.
