Update on the Feeb.
She was officially moved up into year 1 this week, which was good cos we thought they'd forgotten her. She got her grey shirt which was mostly what she was interested in...and then they proceeded to test her reading. In the reception class they don't really 'teach' them much, and reading books is really not something that they get to till next year.
There are 13 levels of difficulty in year 1, and the kids are expected to be able to read up to that level, or as close as they can by the end of the year.
Phoebe read right through 11 levels without any input from the teacher... and finally needed 'a bit' of help on level 12.
We were surprised... and the more so since she's had almost no input from either of us. Matilda has taught her quite a bit... but aside from that, she's done it all by herself. Its only taken her since January!
Daile said she was ripe for school... how right she was!
...and at the other end of the family... littel ol' Molly is just about to finish. She's got about a week to go! I can remember when she'd just started as if it was yesterday!
God I feel OLD!
