Just wondering if I am expecting too much here. We received a curriculum letter at the beginning of term outlining the topics covered but not very specific. We get a yellow book home with a new book once a week and we write comments about reading. The teacher has written two comments so far. No other homework yet. We had a ten mins parents' evening and I was told DD was doing very well. When I asked how I could help at home, the teacher's response was "Don't worry, we teach them to read". It's a shame that the school have this attitude as I'd like to be more involved and part of my daughter's education. We also have no idea which sounds are being taught, how addition is taught (although I don't feel very comfortable teaching any level of Maths!)and there was no mention of the other subjects on the curriculum. It would have been nice to see some of my DD's work at the parents' evening too.

How much info do you get from your child's school? Do teachers give suggestions on how to help at home?
