DCs school apparently runs maths, handwriting and possibly other clubs in the morning before school for bright kids for all years including reception. These clubs are a bit of a mystery as they are by invitation only and when another mum asked about a teacher about them, apparently the teacher denied they existed! Both DCs are doing well at school but DS2 who is in reception is very good at maths yet has still not been invited. Just wondering what the standard is here. DS2 can count well into the hundreds, recognises numbers up to early 100s, can add and subtract and knows some of his timetables but maybe this is not enough. I feel bad as I rarely do much work with them at home apart from reading and a bit of handwriting and a bit sad that he isn't getting the opportunity to learn more that these other kids are getting. Maybe these kids are on a different level but it just surprises me that they are already so ahead when they are only in reception.
