why hasn't my DS been moved up a book band

[crayolala]

hoping that maybe some teachers could shed some light on this

My DS has just started in year 1. Last year he did really well in his reading and finished reception on MAGENTA band. He got "excelling" at reading in his end of year report. I was led to believe that MAGENTA band was the highest you could go up to in reception.

Anyway 2 other parents have now told me that their children have been moved onto MAGNOLIA band. DS is still bringing home MAGENTA books and honestly I think they are too easy for him. I can't understand why if other children have been moved up he hasn't been also as he was excelling in reception. He knows all his letters and can read lots of words.

I defiantly will be having a word with his teacher but just wondering if this is normal. Would it be ok for me to ask to see a MAGNOLIA book as I am sure he is ready to read them too.

at using Sesame Street!
Yes, the three primary COLOURS are RED, GREEN. And BLUE. which can mix to make the others.
But we perceive all COLOURS with the LIGHT they reflect. And the CONES In our EYES are sensitive to RED, GREEN and BLUE.
Which is why BLACK gets hotter, because it ABSORBS everything (reflects nothing) and WHITE is cooler as it REFLECTS everything.

No, the sticker is LYING, it is a TRICK bing played by your BRAIN! GOOGLE it.

meadows, see wonderflorin's post up thread.

Meadows I don't know why! I don't pacifically remember being taught it, it's just the way it is

Nope, RED, LELLO and BLUE. But the rest of your post is correct. (Unless you are operating the photocopier in which case it's CYAN, MAGENTA, and LELLO.)

Apologies. I was thinking of CONES and got MUDDLED. :)

I don't pacifically remember being taught it. You almost certain,y started with the primary colours. OCEAN BLUE

Thank you so much for posting that link Backwards. If MAGENTA doesn't even exist then that's good enough evidence for me that DS should be moved up to MAGNOLIA whether he knows his PVC words or not. I will be printing that article to show to the teacher on Monday.

I'm offended elephant

Look what I grew this year. Is you saying I don't exist???

VIOLET, you are a FIGMENT of our imagination!

I think you mean PIGMENT.

"But there are only three TRUE COLOURS! "

But, on the subject of FIGS, I grew them this year too

(Sorry op I didn't mean to hijack the thread with my MAGENTA garden fare.)

You could show your teacher , but she may argue that MAGNOLIA is also a PIGMENT () of your imagination, or more accuracy is does NOT activate the CONES completely so it should be SCRAPPED too.

The BOOK BANDS LIE.

I now have a craving for FIGS.

You may have this one when its ripe and a lovely deep MAROON

I have also just figured out that the EMPORER did have CLOTHES. They were probably just MAGENTA so no one could SEE them. :)

Thanks you VIOLET, you are too KIND!

"In low light, a tyranny of the majority occurs..."

From the PINK LINK - love this phrase! Reminds me of reception....

(I have no idea why that links to that site )

I wonder whether we could speak to MNHQ about the possibility of running some kind of campaign re the lies we've all been fed over book bands. I feel discusted tbh.

Genius backwards!

I think it's defiantly a campaign that MN could get behind OP.
