Playing catch up over the summer.

[Iownafourinchporsche]

DS2 is average and achieving expectations in year 1. I feel like I've failed him though because I've been time short and unable to support him as much as I did with DS1 (illness, work etc). DS1 is in year 4 and flying while DS2 is just as able (I'm sure) but not reaching his potential. The school report also suggested helping at home more - just toake me feel even more guilty!

I'm due to take early maternity leave and will have the whole of the summer hols to enjoy with the boys. Alongside the fun, I'd like to try and help DS2 reach his potential. I've no idea what to concentrate on really. Reading yes but what about punctuation etc? Also mathletics - will it really benefit him? What does he need to know numbers wise in year 2?
