End of year 3

Good grief! A whole year has passed and I have not blogged about how awful it has been! Perhaps that's a good thing.

On the bright side, huge progress academically.

Reading 4c (equivalent to the end of year 5)
Maths 4c (as above)
Writing 3b (equivalent to the end of year 4)

The challenge for year 3 was to read longer books, which he achieved.  He has read the whole set of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the whole set of Mr Gum, the first two Harry Potter books (about half a dozen times each!) and a couple of Michael Morpurgo books, plus other odd bits and pieces.

Next year's reading challenge is to read more widely rather than rereading favourites all of the time.

He knows most of his tables, although this needs some revision before we start year 4.

Current obsessions are Harry Potter,  Star Wars, car manufacturers, warhammer and dominion.

We are trying out lots of different pens to find one he can write neatly and quickly with.

His report was very accurate academically, very inaccurate for his general comments.

Report and SAT's results

Well, I'm not sure whether to be thrilled with the results, annoyed with the Small Boy or cross with school!

SAT's results


Speaking and Listening - Level 2
Reading 3 (comment in report said "strong level 3")
Writing 2A (comment in report said "with significant elements of level 3")


Mathematics - Level 3 (comment in report said "strong level 3")


Science - all elements - Level 3


Report

Generally good, but lots of it very general to all children, Lit, Num, Hist, Geog, Art, Tech and Music all written by the supply teacher before she left at Easter. ICT, PE, RE, PSCHE all written by a Higher Level Teaching Assistant, Dance/Gym written by the company who deliver PPA cover, and Science and General Comment by his current class teacher.

General comment praises Small Boy for his academic success, but refers abruptly to his refusal to write anything in Literacy and Letters and Sounds lessons, his innate stubbornness and his ability to quickly and ably complete tasks when faced with missing break or lunch time.

Annoyed that the Small Boy has behaved like that - and cross that the school has let it get to that stage and not told us!

Small Boy has been offered a summer of diary writing to improve speed, reluctance and stubbornness, which he is seriously not impressed with. Watch this space!
