We need to understand how the education system in England is different fromthe education system in the United States. In the US, you guys start inPre-Kinder, and then go into Kindergarten, then Grade 1 and so on. In the UK,our first year of school which is equivalent to Pre-Kinder is called Reception.Then we go into Year 1, which is the equivalent of Kindergarten. Our Year 2 istherefore the equivalent of Grade 1 in the American system.
