As suspected my DS2 is very bored in reception.
He’s 4 and in a lovely small state school in a class of 18 but the choice of Reception teacher is not the most inspired.
I had his first parents evening yesterday. Not only the teacher didn’t have anything nice to say about him, but she used adjectives that made me cringed and miffed.
She says he is ‘uninspired’, ‘disengaged’ and ‘too serious’.
He’s not doing phonics at all and does writing instead. He’s completely lost interest in reading and doesn’t look at the books when reading. He’s forgetting his maths that were pretty good.
He doesn’t play much with others in his class but I know he has friends in Year 2.
She offered no options in order to meet his learning needs. I ended suggesting that he at least does phonics with Year 1 (although he already knows Year 1 phonics).
At home, he started saying preemptively that he cannot do things he’s never tried and same at school.
His attitude could be part of his personality but his behaviour lately is unusual and I’m starting to wonder if school confuses him and makes him unhappy.
I’m meeting headteacher tomorrow. She’s very good, communicates warmly and is no nonsense.
What can I ask for.?
