This would have been DS1's 4th week in reception but was diagnosed with impetigo last week and consequently I have had to keep him off school, he will probably not go back until next week, so he will have been off school for 7 school days in total.
For the first 2 weeks of school the morning nursery children attended school on mornings, the afternoon nursery children attended school on afternoons, from the third week all the children were in school together. As DS1 has only had 3 days with all the children I'm worried that they will all have settled into little groups of friends and that when he goes back DS1 will be left out. I have been to the school to get work for him to do at home which we have been doing, but the teacher (who's lovely) is keeping other work to do herself with him during assembly when he goes back and I'm a bit concerned about him getting behind and the length of time it will take for him to catch up.
Sorry about the babbling on but do any of you have similar experience? I'd love to hear your stories and any advice.
thanks in advance

How 'damaging' is it for a child to miss over 1 week of school in reception?
