We are due to hear if we have been given a reception place at our chosen school very soon, (not sure if its the same date in all counties)...but this has me wondering...realistically, what is expected of a child on entering school for the first time ? I'm assuming the ability to wipe your own bum is a must (tick), and the ability to dress oneself (tick), under 15mins, with everything on the correct way(x)...we've had a few party invites recently, that have been handwritted by what looks like the child? whilst my own child can just about write the first three letters of their own name, I mean what should we be able to count up to 10? 20? 100?....or should we be on multiple fractions by now?...
