I'll be glad when this week is over...no proper school today as DD is going to two schools this year and one of them doesn't start until next week.
Trace2, horseriding was great (see comments about nice teacher - that was riding not school) but I think poor DD is really struggling with French after 6 weeks just English.
She's back in French school tomorrow. I haven't actually been able to talk to her teacher...don't know if she actually realises DD has SEN. We're in the process of getting her registered / statemented, but it can take a while here (don't think they'll say no, just don't think they'll say yes for a few months because of the paperwork!). In the meantime, she gets no help, in a class of 30 kids, speaking French. TBH she just sits quietly at the back doing her own thing...
The other school she goes to is English and they only have 15 kids so although still MS has got to be easier than the French one, but the French one is more important because that's where she'll be long term. School isn't compulsory here until 6 (although everyone starts at 3) so I'm just trying to spend this year getting all the structures in place by next year when she's going to have to start learning something proper! She's also supposed to be starting some more therapy (she's been referred to a sort of psychology centre) but I've not been able to get hold of them yet to see what they can offer / do. It's all kind of complicated and I'm trying to get my head around it!! Will let you all know how we get on tomorrow...
Glad to hear minitrace is answering questions, and that miniclanger survived his first day (love the idea about being seven to go into year seven LOL)

Oh yeah, except now teacher has thrown a spanner in the works saying that it's "just not possible" for DD to go to two schools. Says she can't work with her for two days a week and that she needs to choose one school or the other. We ARRANGED everything in June and now she doesn't like what she has to deal with! Trouble is, I need her on my side...Don't know what to DO!

Good luck trace!
I just spoke to DD's teacher and the head of the school. They both feel it will be too disruptive for her to go to two schools at once. TBH they sounded perfectly reasonable, and they might well have a point. So, I've spoken to the other school and they've said they'll get back to me. As always, I don't mind what's we end up deciding, I just wish I knew what was the BEST thing to do. You know, eternal SN dilemma...do you just leave things as they are and hope they improve or do you drag your poor child to endless meetings and evaluations and different teachers / therapists in the hope that somewhere along the line some of it helps them!
