Yr 1 parents evening next week...what should I be asking?

[dontdillydally]

had a parents evening 3 months into DS starting and teacher seemed to know him to a t.

What should I be asking now that he has only 4 months left till he moves to Y2?

Im also worried about his move....he didnt adjust very well from reception to Y1 - transission was abit of a shock for him. Also he is very, very settled with his group of friends.

As they are two year classes they will be mixing them up - Im very concerned

He's Soooooooo little

1. Is he making friends ok/getting on ok with other children

1. Is there anything you want me to help with at home (e.g reading)?

1. Is there anything I need to be concerned about hos behaviour?

1. Are you planning any mixing before the Yr move?

hos? his

yes he's 6....he comes across as a very confident boy, very chatty but there is this vunerable side to him

I am worried about my ds going into year 2. Again 2 form groups. My ds still bit prone to shouting out and been told to curb this - easier said than done!

Slight hijack- from reception to year 1 ds was separated from a friend cos they bickered etc. I think for my ds that would be a good thing if also happened in year 2. Nearer end of summer term would it be inappropriate to say to teacher I would prefer these boys to still be separated? [The necessity of separation may be less obvious to teachers now but these boys are still bickering and need constant monitoring on playdates or trouble ensues].

Some parents got a petition together to ask school not to split/mix the classes at end of Yr1. I didn't sign but one mum who had signed it actually told me some months later that her son had actually been fine, even though he'd been separated from his best friend, and that she felt a bit foolish.

Is he happy, settled, etc ?

Strengths/weaknesses - ask what can you do at home to help?

How are they going to prepare them for year 2? Will he be with any of his friends, I'd express that he's a bit worried about it.
