My eldest has just started Year 3. Their first homework was given last week. Part of it is to practice spellings. They had the spelling test today.
This was a warm up but from next week onwards the children must get at least 9 out of 10 spellings correct. If they don't they're not allowed out at playtime and have to stay in class and practice the spellings. I don't really have to worry about my DC- she's quite good at spelling but she said one of the boys only got 2 out of 10 today.
Also if they forget their reading book they're kept indoors at playtime.
They just seem so.... young

Am I being cotton wool mum or is this a little harsh?
