Back to school

Matthew had a lovely 1st day back, he is sitting next to his teacher with nobody in the next seat (to stop distractions?). He had his 1:1 (1hr)help straight away (still a teacher's assistant, but better than nothing) and wrote 3/4 of a page about himself. I received home a letter which should have been posted out to me before the holidays, containing the Maths problems he had wrong in his SATS test, for me to work through with him and a recommendation of a workbook to buy (typical). I went through the Maths problems and when they are read to him he has no problems understanding what is required. He is supposed to have extra time in school tests and I strongly suspect it is not given. They don't even explain about the yearly tests to us parents or tell us when they are taking place- what's going on at that school is anybodies guess.
Looking forward to next week we have his Dore assessment Tues and 1st appointment with Paediatrician Thurs pm. We are hoping he will confirm the ADHD inattentive, (with a touch of hyperactivity.
