DD is currently in Year 2 and utterly bored! They say it's a difficult year because they are pushed for SATS but we just see the work getting easier!
She is very bright but school refuse to give her more challenging work 'because she would then just be bored in Year 3 instead!'
The plan is to take send her to private school as soon as we can afford it- we're looking at changing over in year 4 or 5.
Just wanting opinions as to what the best extra work to give her in the meantime! She already plays the piano and we do lots of extra spellings (she is already year 4 for reading).
Lots of parents around us seem to agree that the work at the local schools is too easy & it's best to swap them to private school as early as possible to avoid a big gap in their achievements.
Seeing as we can't get there quite yet, what workbooks/schemes would you use to make sure she is not too behind once she does start private school?
(Sorry it's so long!)
