So Tom, Matt and I had our 30 minute visit to school this afternoon. He ran all the way there, so I guess he likes it there. We met with his teacher (Mrs Pickard) and Teaching Assistant (Mrs Tennant), they showed us around the room, pointing out the different areas and Tom got to choose his peg and welly cubby hole (no-one told me he needed wellies and his need replacing as they are too small for him - arggghhhh!)
Tom then did a drawing with Mrs Tennant whilst we spoke to Mrs Pickard. She asked us lots of questions about Tom - what he likes doing, academic ability, any concerns etc. It was good to have some initial quality time with his teacher and be able to spend some time explaining him to her before she teaches him, hopefully it will mean that she will be able to initially play to his strengths. We will see - she does have 19 other children to teach after all...
