Thanks Grinity for your support smile I'm going to have to wait it out until the end of term (4 more weeks)before making a decision about acceleration. In the event that we decide against grade-skipping, I've been brainstorming alternatives for 2009. What do you think of my list? Anything I've missed?

� A part time aide that would work with Miss 4 during maths/literacy to extend her, perhaps an hour or so a day supposing I could find someone?
� Subject acceleration where she would visit the 1-2 class for maths/literacy?
� Part time school where she would attend 3 days per week but homeschool 2 days?
� Compact the curriculum so she does pp and yr 1 in one year so that she�s ready to accelerate in 2010 when she�s more socially and emotionally mature?

Any other suggestions? Unfortunately, full time homeschooling isn't an option financially (unless we sell up and move to the country!) A combined pp/year 1 class would be ideal, if only I could convince the school to change their class structure just to suit me!!!!!!! jojo
