OMG!
I am so very, very proud of my little boy!
I had a teacher-parent meeting with his teacher today, and they informed me that because he was so far ahead of the rest of his class, he's going to start spending half of the day in the next year up!
He'll still do all the playing, singing, painting etc. with his old classmates, but will be going to year 1 (he's in Reception right now) to do his work.
*cue very proud Sammy*
And if his behaviour improves and he learns how to play with the other kids a bit better, there's a good chance he'll be skipping a year after the summer.
To be perfectly honest I'm not that surprised. He taught himself to read at 4 years old, and where most kids his age are struggling to write their own names, he's writing whole sentences. paragraphs even! His teacher said she's never seen anything even remotely like it, and they're going to do everything they can to ensure he gets all he needs out of school.
What amuses me is that they were making noises about kicking him out of school because he was being difficult. The noises suddenly stopped as soon as they realised how bright the little monkey is :-)
Anyways, I'll stop showing off now... have clothes to wash :-(
