    Olive- oh she has hearing issues, but only the normal selective children issues.

    Chody- her whole class started this term. Im not sure what level all of her classmates are up to but I do know some passed their golden words in the first week.. some parents were talking about it outside the class. Will try breaking down into only concentrating on 4 til she gets those.

    Black rose- thanks, will suggest to teacher she move seats if possible

    Well if the whole class is new that's a good thing, the teacher will definitely doing lots of stuff at her level. I'd say for the time being that its all just a matter of settling in and getting used to school. Lots of learning happens around just how school wprks, the routines ect. All kids learn things at different speeds. Maybe have that chat with the teacher, have her vision checked and just continue helping at home. I don't necessarily think there's cause to worry about the speed she's learning academic things til late this year if she's still not made much more progress than she has now. Since she's gonna do reception again next year, everything she learns this year, whether its academically, socially or just about being comfortable at school, is going to be a bonus and head start for next year.
