We sent youngest lad who was 4 in May regret it now. There's kids over a year older than him in the class and 1 in particular makes his life hell- was at school with his mother and she was the same. I think they should change school starting age to 5 to accommadate this, it was always 4 when we were young . Too much of an age range in the class. At the moment there are kids who are 10 and my lad is still 8

Is there a tummy bug going round or am I just unlucky

I've not been able to even keep water down all day today and have a temp of 38.4. Thought I was going to collapse when injecting those cows with estrumate earlier.
Was fine going to bed last night!

Ours is 2yrs 5 months, OH started training her about a month ago.

She will be starting playschool in sept aged 2y 10months

And will be 4y 10months starting school.

Can't believe I'm talking aboit school but about 3 months ago, I got a call off a mother on the child minders wanting to know where and when she would be starting school.

I thought starting school age was 5 now Whelan?

I went to school at 4, cos of circumstance at home more than anything... but then was kept back in 6th class as was felt I was too young to go to secondary school... not sure that would be an option for ye... it wasn't such a big issue for me, as I wouldnt have been going to secondary school with anyone I was in primary school anyways...

Sorry to hear your lad has a hard time of it

His school work is fine. I'd say he will do transition year. They dont keep kids back in primary any more unless in extreme circumstances.

He will be just gone 4 in sept so it I'll be 5 before he starts, there's a good few teachers in both sides of our family and they all say 4 is to young

There is a facebook page called Clare death notices.

They were complaining not enough people were liking their comments and were threatening to close it.

Facebook is miserable enough without that goings on.

Kinda like a couple of brothers here that bought a hearse and wrote on the side "for us to live you must die " .
They didnt make it in the undertaker business as you can imagine

Just watching the film "Due Date" on rte2 with Robert Downey Jnr and Zach Galifianakas.
It's the funniest film I've seen in a while.
Not everyone's cup of tea though.

My mother had a double knees replacement today. I can't imagine doing it, but the doctor said she would be better off doing the 2 at the same time.

Water John · 29-03-2017 09:35PM

Knee is tougher than the hip. Hope it goes well.

My dad has a knee and a hip done. He said he could do the hip 10 times over again before he'd do the knee again.

Mother needs two and has had two hips done. She has heard the above and we cannot get her to go.

Remember being told, up North the child has to start school on the September after their 4th birthday, which I think is a fair rule, as I remember a girl starting at 6, & there was some in my class a full year older .... but not smarter.

As for the bully, sadly there's not much you can do bar let your son know you're there for him.

Don't think i'd keep her unless you foster a calf onto her.

There was a lad in eldest lads class was 3 starting school. Turned 4in the September he started. Now that was too young. He stuck with the class and is in transition year this year. He was used to kerp the numbers up to keep a teacher in the school.
