The meaning of your childs table??

[daisy243]

How do people know so much about the meaning of the table their child has been put on? I know nothing about the other kids ability in my dd's class and have no idea what, if any the significance is of who's on her table!

I know she's pretty bright!
Does it really make a lot of difference?

It was definitely motivating for DS1. I can remember him getting near to the end of Level 8 and being really chuffed because he'd read all of the books in their class (or so he thought). Then when he finished them he had to go to "the big class" to get Level 9 and upwards.

I don't think it was quite so motivating for DS2 as he made a big jump rather than working through all of the levels to get there, but he does like going to get his books especially as a Year 4 girl helps him choose

??? Lovecheese

Lovecheese, I'm guessing as you talk about your DD's "building" she goes to a far bigger school than my DC. There are only 4 classrooms in the whole school (reception to Yr6), and there were fewer than that before an extension was built a couple of years ago. Some years only have 9 pupils in. Obviously with that few children they have fewer books etc.

Ideas which work in bigger schools don't always work in smaller ones, and vice versa.

Woah, steady, just agreeing with you about your Dcs school's system and how it works for them.

I was going to compliment you on a great chat name but I'm not going to now.

Oh I'm sorry, given the criticism of the system in your previous posts I took your "righty-o" to be sarcastic. My mistake.

Nay, lass, round here if you say righty-o it means you understand.

Perhaps MN should have regional accents complete with correct emphasis to help us understand the context of comments

Am slightly grumpy today as I have earache in both ears, so I may have been a little snappy...

Snap away, I'm sewing fecking brownie badges on so not in the best of moods myself...

Champion. And builders tea.

Blimey is level 9 (am assuming ORT) normally year 3? [proud mum emoticon if so...] well if I can't show a bit of pride anonymously on here....

It is in my DC's school, but as I said they are learning to read in 2 languages which might slow them down. It might generally be higher in monolingual children.
This would suggest that is normally the end of Year 2.

Which two domestic? I'm guessing Welsh?

You guessed right
