DD at the end if year 3 AND CANNOT RECITE MONTHS of the year in order

[FALSEdichotomy]

This is an Indie school

DD has been there since pre reception

I feel neglectful that ive only just realised this.

Yes cecilyP, I understood what you meant. My point was that we can help our children by reinforcing months/days etc when we speak to them in usual day to day conversation. So, for example, when we say "school starts again in September" we can use the opportunity to discuss which months come between now and then. To say the months are irrelevant because the DC aren't the ones needing to organise their lives is like saying that helping them to recognise coins is unnecessary until they are financially independent!
