So her report:
100% attendance (through blood, sweat and tears)
Attainment: B's for everything (in line with National Expectations for a child in that year group) except Reading, which she's got an A for (Above National Expectations for a child in that year group).
Effort: B's for everything. ("Good")
No mention is made of the fact that she's taken 5 months to settle in the class. No mention of dragonflies or the reasons for it.
Lots of very positive wording which glosses over gaps, IMO:
English
'tries hard to concentrate'
'with encouragement will offer an opinion'
'understanding of the main points during comprehension activities is developing'
'she is being encouraged to refer to the text...'
'beginning to vary the style of her writing',
'she must check that the language she uses fits in and makes sense.', 'shown that she can punctuate....however does not do so consistently', 'sometimes writes statements instead of sentences.'
'needs to consistently use connectives.'
'trying hard to form her letters carefully and join neatly'.
Mathematics
'DD2 tries hard.'
'She works with an adult when new concepts are introduced'
'...will then try to continue independently'
'usually listens during mental maths...tries to answer questions'
'being introduced to a range of apparatus'
'understanding of addition and subtraction facts to 10 is improving.'
'has experienced working with simple one step word problems. and is being encouraged to select her own practical apparatus....rather than just using fingers.
Personal and Social
'DD2 has experienced working in a variety of situations but benefits from working with a partner or in a group so she can develop her ideas before working independently.'
'Although she sometimes doesn't follow the instructions correctly she will now 'have a go' and not worry.'
So...I'm going to look like a fruitloop with the Ed Psychs, aren't I?
They'll hear about a child who is meeting 'national expectations.'
Yet, the teacher has been telling me that DD2 can't do x, y and z, isn't listening, etc. She agreed with me that 'Y3 is going to be a disaster'....
Meh. I'm fed up of this journey now. Stuff Holland, where's the plane to Italy?
