Our situation is this. We currently live in Scotland, but plan to move to England in a year or two, jobs depending. DS2 has a summer birthday, and as such he will start school in Scotland next year when he is five and a bit, but if we lived in England now, he would start this year, at four and a bit.
Potentially therefore, we could find ourselves in the situation where he has to start school in Year 1, having missed Reception entirely. My plan is to teach him at home what he would learn in Reception, to try and minimise any "damage". He is already showing lots of interest and knows some letters, numbers etc., so I'm sure he'll be ready to learn.
However, I can't seem to find a detailed curriculum for Reception Year. Does anyone know where I could find one? Also, if your child is in Reception, what "level" of reading, writing, numbers etc are they at now? Lastly, has anyone found themselves in a similar situation - how was your experience? How did your child cope?
Many thanks for reading.
