Parent Teacher Interview

20 minutes with Miss Clarke reassured the parents about Abigail's progress and what more can be done to push her academically. She is reluctant to do extension work if it is noticed by her peers. Miss C said that gifted children usually start to want to be different / do different things in Term 3.

Abigail may be put into year 1 reading group soon, probably with the 2 others Xavier and Connor. Her maths book is neat and filled with information about longer/shorter as well as mathematical functions.

Computer based puzzles used at home for extension: tried some tonight. Abigail went for the Find-a-word first, then re-ordering sentences. Tried the counting by 5s game but reverted to the class intranet games that she was familiar with. After over an hour on the computer she was not reluctant to put the computer on standby and come to dinner.
