Primary teachers - what 's your opinion?

Music and maths do go hand in hand, so encourage that.

How is she with time, shape, measuring etc?

I do agree a little with dds teacher, your dd is already huge steps ahead of her peers, so just go with the flow.

Yes, if she's generally interested encourage her. It sounds to me she already is miles ahead of her peers (my dd is also in Reception), so the teacher is talking rubbish. What is the school's gifted & talented policy? Can you get help from a specialist teacher, TA or SENCO (G&T is Special Needs too but, unfortunately, most schools don't have time to deal with it).

Mmmm. Not a great response in my book. Your dd sounds very advanced.

I think music is an extremely good idea. I liked the look of the NRICH maths website. Maybe also consider whether she might enjoy learning chess? would you have time to think about setting up a chess club at school?
