Maybe I'm just being a curmudgeon.
YR DD's class had a homework competition to make a little garden to put outside. It said in a small flower pot, and things that could live outside.
Now obviously at 4/5 the children still need help making things, but DD did hers herself with just help from us with sticking and gluing etc. It's just twigs and plants and rocks and acorns, that sort of thing. Because it said it needed to be outside.
Turn up at school this morning and there's shoebox sized containers filled with Easter decorations from craft shops and hugely elaborate things that have clearly been mostly made by the parents.
DD looked disappointed as she put her much smaller one on the side next to the others, poor thing.
Is this the way it is now? Do I have to make Tracey Island each time she gets a project? Can I hope she'll get bonus points for something she's obviously done herself?
