DS is in year 2. He was 7 in March so he is one of the younger students in his year.

I'm aware that stampy spelling isn't appropriate for a classroom environment but DS is a very enthusiastic learner when he is interested. Ask him to write sentences with his spelling words and he will stare out a window for an hour but if you ask him to write a puppet show with them he will fight to be allowed to keep writing even when it is break time.

I love my Dad so much. I spoke with him and he had a bit of a rant about the teachers he encountered who carried on as if every time we had problems in class it was because of bad parents not bad teachers.

I sent a sensory cushion to school yesterday and apparently he didn't get a chance to use it. Not really happy about that because I wanted to use it at home for homework for a while before he used it in the classroom but the teacher wanted it sooner rather than later.
