yes simpson freinds dd is july birthday she belives shes gifted,
They were different classes last year-diffrent teachers.
They then combined classes in year 2
my dd was bottom table for literacy.
she got 36/40 in year 1phonics group so was same phonics group as freinds dd.
At end of term one my dd was just one reading level behind hers.
her dd got 2c reading, 1 a writing.
my dd got 1b in everything-schools target was 1a so slightly below.
This means dd had to climb 3sublevels to reach required 2b.
over summer
we wrote poems
she kept holiday diary
she even wrote and illustrated her own book
started writing letters to penpal
played scrabble
I even read letts revision guide to keystage 1 writing for idea.
she used correct punctuation capital letters, fullstops
her spellings not dire she spells phonetically so often wrong
she can write length peices whole page of a4 in year 2.
shes got neater, can use joined up writing.
There wasent huge amount given in folder most of the stuff was reception and year 1.
freinds dd had parenst evening 2weeks ago and was told her dd was at 2b already . she had rcently been over our house in half term as freind needed babysitter as was working and her writing was really bad. Im thinking maybe its her vocabulary thats wider?
seems huge 3sublevel gap with her dd climing 2sublevels in 1 term 8weeks.
new teachers doubts its accuracy ad thinks year 2teacher just copied what year 1teacher had put.
dds just starting 4th week and new teachers had to chase up school to send records and then they said they asses 1st week back of new term which dd had left at that point started new school after half term and only told her the grades from year 1. I had to chase them for exercise books.
new school seems to have diffrent veiw of her reading and maths and thinks they better than old school.
they both state primaries same lea.
got meeting with new teacher 2weeks time so hoping by then she have time to asses and will see if shes made any progress as over summer did extra maths, writing and reading.
