Mixed Emotions...

Received Jamie's report and it was really good.  Basically, he is less than average with his handwriting, average with his maths and above average with his reading.  The personal comment from his teacher was lovely.  She wrote; He has a super attitude towards learning, listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions and then applying everything he has heard and found out into his own work.  Proud Mummy Moment.

Unfortunately, along with his report, we got his class for next year.  Jamie will be staying with his current teachers.  There are to be no Year 1 or Year 2 classes, but instead three Year 1 & 2 classes combined.  He wasn't upset about his teachers, but he was upset as he will be separated from some of his best buddies.  He did have a few tears about this, and it was hard to reassure him.  As I told him, he hasn't been in the same class as Alfie this year, but they have continued to be best buddies.

We did ask to see his teacher (I didn't realise not everyone does!) and sent her an email prior asking for ways to best help him next year as I was worried we haven't been doing enough.  Prior to the consultation she sent a lovely email which said; He has had a really good year and I hope he will continue to do really well next year too. (I am sure he will because he is very hardworking).

The consultation went well and she gave me some strategies to help Jamie over the summer and into next year.
