Hi - I'm having a bit of a wobble about August born DS2 starting Y1. He's been fine in YR, he's a chatty soul and has made good progress, but I just see some problems ahead. Anyone in the same boat?
I'm wondering whether the change to more structured time is going to be harder for him than starting at school last September. In the end YR wasn't too dissimilar to nursery... lots of free-play.
Today he said that he doesn't like writing at school because he doesn't like having to remember to put spaces between the words. This shocked me somewhat because earlier in the year he was writing a lot at home, self motivated and enjoying trying out what he'd learnt at school. Lately he hasn't chosen to do any writing at home.
He's a head-strong character and I'm just worrying that having to follow the structure of Y1/less freedom is going to be a problem?
Thanks in advance.
