update: I stayed at school with Nathan this morning for one and a half hours. I am totally devastated! He looked so bored.

They asked the kids each to count to ten and backwards again to zero - he counted to 13 (they didn't ask him backwards). They asked the other kids their birthdays and addresses. This is stuff for their end of year reports... they have all turned 4 already, and he is barely 3 (by 1 week now). He knew all of this ages ago already. And I should expect him to go to a class where he will only be required to show this stuff at the end of next year?

He drew a picture of our new swimming pool - started writing his name on it, realised no one else is writing and stopped. refused to show it to the teacher (asked her for an eraser and she told him he doesn't need one)

I cannot do it! He played on his own and then asked me to leave as he was very busy. I fetch him in another 2 hours or so.

Maybe the rest of the week will go better.?? will it? someone please reassure me here!
