I'm a biit disapointed with my DD primary. Or maybe worried over nothing?

[complexo]

I loved yearR and the Teachers and TAs were very cheerful, talk active and helpful. But now in Y1 the teacher and TAs are very quite, hardly smile and never make eye contact with the parents unless we approach them. The term started on the 5th, we still have the same book in the book bag, there is no space for parent's comment in the child"s book, they didn't send any homework yet nor a letter, newsletter, nothing. Only a peace of paper about PE and show and tell. We are not allowed in and we were not invited to see the classroom or meet the teacher. Today after school I asked a simple question re when the after school club finishes and although the 3 of them replied at the same time it seemed slightly unfriendly that I felt weird in myself. This week my dauther took her PE kit in a labelled drawstring bag with her name on it and came back with the whole kit on her hands. She said she didn't have time to pit the stuff back in the bag and the bag must be on her peg. But she can't find the bag and I darent ask her teachers or TAs. Or should I? Also is the school to laid back or is it to early in the term for homework etc?

I don't think the specialist teacher buzzer refers to was hired to teach her ds, it's just a shared resource that he used for a few hours a week. This is the sort of help that you are already being offered through school - they have picked up a potential issue and are dealing with it. Even bizzey's story took place over four years. I think two weeks into term with additional resources being offered puts you waaaaaaaay ahead of bizzey's game.

At the moment the school have identified two issues of concern that are affecting your dd's ability to learn. They are offering support for the potential dyslexia. And they are letting you know that the relationship breakdown is affecting her enough that she is unable to concentrate at school. They can't do anything about that except to monitor it. But you can.

madwomanintheattic...do you have an SEN child ?

Two. (I figure one nt out of three isn't too bad)
Why?

OP ..did reception yr not bring up any concerns ??

One statemented.
One with a dual diagnosis and two IPPs running concurrently.
Eldest is 12 now. Youngest 9.

One diagnosed at birth and been SEN since first nursery at 12 months old. The other eventually diagnosed at 10 after 6 years of slogging through school.

Am I allowed an opinion now? Apols if you aren't credential checking, but it sounded like it.

Appologies MADWOMAN if I offfended you in my question ...I just felt from your posts that you had already been in the system and felt let "down" by it all ..am I turning physic now !!!!

no problem. Actually, we've been really very lucky! But I have a healthy awareness that not everyone is.

I think you just caught me out of context and I assumed the worst.

can't spell that word !!!!

@madwoman....Well glad we sorted that before the bun fight started ! does my earlier thread ring any bells with you and your situation .......sorry OP to hi-jack !!!

Your post? Or a different thread?

I'm familiar with the length of time it takes to get anything done, tbh, but really no one was interested in discussing ds1 until his y5 teacher broke down and cried after a parent's evening that lasted an hour and a quarter. Up until that point no one had been interested, really, as academically they knew he was capable, he just didn't show it...

With dd2 we have always been dealing the system in some form or another, so we are usually in the lead of any profs iykwim. We moved a lot, so it was always me telling them about her, and them putting stuff in place, rather than them being in control.
Probably the same reason no one did anything about ds1, because we moved a lot.

Not sure if that's what you meant?

The masshoosive post on this thread...had a bit of a blip earlier...I have got 1st appointment with comm pead tommow....and was practicing my story I suppose ....!!

DS has medical issues as well as accademical so under alot of doctors in order to come to a DX ??? maybe ??

YR5 is late though to pick things up ?

How is your ds doing now ?

I know the school has being brilliant already and I'm thankful for this. I'm glad the thread is useful. She has been going to nursery since the age of 2 and no concerns were ever raised until now.
