We had a big intake this year (69 Kindys) which is why they made the composite class. Cherub's teacher has assured me that they'll still get to do all the fun Kindy stuff and interract with the other classes. Poor Cherub is off school today with what we think impetigo which is going round the school :( Julie @ Off to the Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044812604091459779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-11335469112928963492017-02-08T21:36:35.913+11:002017-02-08T21:36:35.913+11:00so grown up - i am sure she will have a great year...so grown up - i am sure she will have a great year. we only had composite once when my youngest was in grade 2 and was in a 1/2. Like you i was not keen as they had less of their peers etc but she had a good year and i figure it happens to most people at least once so better when they are little. enjoy your transition year!Deb @ inner compass designs https://www.blogger.com/profile/01966360876083121939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-90609574634250470292017-02-07T22:21:14.805+11:002017-02-07T22:21:14.805+11:00Such a special time.

It does depend on how the school organises matters but often times the Kinders will just be with the bigger group of Kinders. It's inevitable at time for classes to be organised this way because 'numbers' are the drivers of class organisation. Sometimes too, as the term moves on, if one grade grows bigger there can be a further adjustment and changes made. It happens. I was a public school DP and Principal and we did this with as much focus on the children as we could. I hope you are going well this week. it is a transition for you too!
