Clever Kids

My wife went to parents evening yesterday for Callum and Declan. Excellent reports for both of them, we're very pleased.

Declan was the big surprise - apparently he's the best in his class for maths. Until a few weeks ago, if you asked him to count he would go as far as 13 and then just randomly choose numbers. As we've discovered from previous parents evenings for Declan, he can do a hell of a lot more than he lets on at home.

Callum also gave us a bit of a surprise with his SATS results. I don't know how they work them all out nowadays (they didn't have them when I was at school). He got level 3 in all his tests which is achievement above the nationally expected standard for most 7 year olds. His teacher said he got a high 3 which is what they'd have expected from a year 4 pupil. He's in year 2.
