My little girl is 4 and has just started school and is loving it (which is the most important thing to me). today we received her first report and shes doing great but to be honest i have been surrounded by people telling me shes very bright and her report is showing shes mostly average. I was just wondering whether i have been misled by my family and friends.
She knows her numbers up to 20 and can count to 100 with some prompting, she can colour in and stay in the lines (mostly), knows all her letters capital and small, can write all of these independently and can spell most cvc words, is reading simple stories, and has always talked about everything and anything clearly and descriptively. She dresses and undresses herself, can ride a bike without stabilisers and can add small numbers together, knows all her colours (light and dark) and all her 2D shapes. She can use sissors to cut in a straight line or follow a shape and she also has an excellent memory and can remember stuff like what colour wrapping paper she had last christmas.
I know i sound like a paranoid mum and i probably am but i thought she'd do better as when we went for our teacher parent interview at the beginning of school the teacher seemed surprised by what she could do and she seems so much older than all of her friends in many ways.

Am I just being biased or is she a bright spark?
