Getting fed up with this, Ds2 is 7 he has reading, Spellings which consisting of about 10 words you have to copy x3 write 4 sentences and learnng for a test each week as well as a numeracy task to do eg.learning tt. Ds2 tries hard but finds particularly the spellings hard so we have to practice a lot. He's been invited to maths booster classes at 8.15 on wed which we have done. Ive now got a letter saying he hasnt been completing the online maths games set on abacus and asking him to stay in on monday lunchtime to do them. I knew about these and we do dip in and out of them when Ds2 wants but General concentrate on the other numeracy task. Im minded to say no to this lunchtime session its his playtime. I know this is about y2 sats but getting fed up with it hes 7!. He has an active time outside school doing football, Beavers, swimming and tennis (each about 1hr) we also try and spend sometimes at the weekend walking/cycling. When are we supposed to fit all this work in? ds2 isnt the fastest - we could spend hours every evening on this! Never had this much when ds1 was in y2 and i swear he has less in Y7.
Sorry about any typos as using my phone. Just needed to rant
