Just wanted to do an update. My son was placed in a Y5/Y6 composite class which concerned me because he needed extension BEYOND Y6 which is his current age grade. I decided (without telling them) to give them a trial period of 1 term and if I wasn't happy, I'd request he be moved to a higher level class. HOWEVER, can I just say, Green Bay Primary are proving fantastic so far. Early days I know, but I'm so pleased. They've really bumped up the homework, giving him two week projects that are miles ahead of anything he was doing at Kaurilands. He's definitely got peers in his class, despite the Y5/Y6 range because he has told me there are two people that he knows beat him in his maths test and one person that he knows beat him in his spelling test. Also, his teacher has put him forwards for a robotics class that is held every Thursday during class time. He's so excited about that. Already I have seen an improvement in his writing - going from short simplistic answers to longer paragraphs - just from the expectations set by the homework. THANK YOU, GREEN BAY!
