what to do when my boy hates going to school!!

[happy12]

Can some one please help, my little boy has always loved going to nursery and now that he has started primary he hates it. Well in the last couple of months he hates it. It takes nearly an hour to get him dressed for school, then he is fine and then when we get to school it takes nearly 45 mins to get him into the school, which means he is late. The Teacher has tried giving him special jobs to make him want to go, works for five mins and then back to the same again.
We have tried making it fun, again works for % mins and then stops. Would love some adavice please!!!!!

Has he talked about why he hates it?
Are there particular parts of the school day that he finds more difficult than others?
How are school supporting him?

Sorry for all the questions.

Often when children start school it suddenly dawns on them that they have to come every day all day and they do get a little clingy to mum this usually wears off once they get into everything in school and make more friends

It sounds like something might have changed in the last couple of months.

Hi
He just says that it is the school and that is it, I know he is fine once inside school, and when school is over he comes out in a great mood. The teacher and I have been working together on this and it makes no odds.

I dont know if it is the teacher, as she used to teach the nine year olds and this is her first year teaching four year olds. I dont know if she is excepting to much out of them. I dont want to sound like the over protective mum when I say about the teacher. But she dose seem very stressed, but who wouldnt be teaching a whole class of four year olds.

I am a reception teacher and to me the most important thing at this stage is for children to feel happy and secure in school after all this is just the start of a very long school life. Reception is very different to teaching KS2 as I'm sure your son's teacher is finding out. What type of things does he do at school? Is there lots of opportunities to play/work outdoors or is he expected to sit down and work?

Hi
As far as I know he has learning through play for a while and then they have to sit and learn, but he gets a good bit of homework to do. Which he likes doing. But the teacher has said that he will not do it at school and that he can not write or count. But then when he dose his homework she tells me his great at doing it. It is the same with his key words, she has them all marked and he has got stars for good work but she will then tell me dose not know them but when I ask why she has marked them she tells me that he dose know them. I am well aware that he might not do what he is told at school, and can be strong headed.I just dont know, what it is.
