Thanks so much for a lovely comment, I’m sure most kids won’t be able to master them all either- but it’s nice to have some guidance on some areas you can choose to focus on 😊

Starting school is such a big milestone and I think getting them excited about it is really important. If they keep hearing their parents saying how nervous they are about their kids starting school, they kids will think that school is something to be scared of and start being nervous too.
One tip I have is to point the school out excitedly whenever you go past it – “that’s your school” – so that they can begin to take ownership of it. #blogcrush

I would also add the ability to carry a plate of food as that never seems to appear on a list for preparing for primary school, yet they have to carry their tray with food on from their first day.

Encourage a child to choose a book, to turn the pages of the book, to look at the book a d talk about what they can see in the pictures and what might be happening. Tell their own story from the pictures.
