Things haven’t been too bad but this morning I can tell he can’t be arsed. Lots of head on the desk and general moaning. He has some ASD traits but school aren’t interested in pursuing as he has to be two year behind for anyone to be interested.
This is our current timetable (he refuses to do PE but I can drag him on walks)
Mathseeds - he is on map 27 and generally does around 16 tasks to earn an acorn each day which moves him forward. Sometimes he does another section off his own back in the afternoon too.
A maths activity sheet from white rose
We do a daily English lesson using National Academy
We complete a daily journal which is usually something written, just a few sentences or something drawn
Some spellings
Some number bonds
Some activity from the school blog
Interspersed with lots of pretend play with his brother, some televisions, bit of iPad.
What do you think? Too much? Not enough? He can jump from being really really happy to frustrated and cross to mini meltdowns over the writing. I give lots of praise. He earns screen time and at the weekend we give him back his favourite computer game to play as a ‘great work, well done’ treat.
Somehow I just feel deflated. His concentration isn’t great. I don’t really know how his friends are getting on at home as noone’s really talking and if you do talk about work it sounds like I’m bragging somehow.
Anyway I’d love to know how other mums are faring and if you’re achieving much.
