yeah Ambah, Kameron's speech issue was picked up in Kindy, even though I made them aware that there was an underlying problem back in Term 1 it took them to this Term. Term 4 to really action it.

Kameron had to have a speech assesment done (was done in term 3), and then a pysch assessment done which was done a few weeks ago, in order to be allowed to stay back another 6 months. The pych report states that it is recommended (by the person that did it) that Kameron continues on with kindy for a maximum of 2 terms. A copy of that is sent to the education department as they dont' really like kids being kept back in kindy.

Kameron staying back two terms means that he will then have 6 terms of reception (the year before grade 1 here in sa but done at school) and will then move to grade 1 in 2009.

If all is well with Lachlan during Kindy (ie no speech issues etc), he will start grade 1 in 2010, so even though there is 2.5yrs difference between Kameron and Lachlan they will end up only being a grade apart during the school years, cause of Kameron being held back.

Love
