School is about 500 yds away and will mean crossing 3 very quiet roads.
friend will walk to our house (I will text his mum to say got this far). Boys will walk to school and I will follow with younger DD about five minutes later, but will not be passing their classroom to check they are in there.
The boys are very keen to do this. Both get cross with their younger siblings for holding them up and making them late.
They are never very late and do not miss registration, just have to leg it across to the other side of the school and don't get the chance to catch their breath and settle down before school starts in earnest.
Both boys are very sensible and generally good about crossing roads etc.
Opinions please from teachers as well as parents.
