👫 Things to try before going into primary 1

🟢🟡🟣🟠🔵👔👟🖍✏️⚽️🏃‍♂️🍴

We really hope that you have found the posts on ‘things to try before going into primary 1’ useful. These are simple activities and practical skills to try so that a child can develop the ‘building blocks’ or foundations from which further development in primary one can build on. Other useful things to practice are; going to the toilet and learning to wipe themselves after, and brushing teeth. It is also really beneficial if grown ups read to children frequently as not only is this a lovely thing to do with your child, it is their starting point for eventually learning letters and words, and understanding language.

As previously stated, your child may already be able to carry out many of the activities and skills highlighted but for others we hope this has been a useful guide of appropriate things to try! There is no pressure or expectation as teachers are very aware that children go into primary 1 with varying levels of ability and will encourage, support and enable your child accordingly. These are simply ideas of things that you and your child might like to try! Please look back on our page for all of the posts on things to try before primary 1.

The NHS Borders Children and Young People’s Occupational Therapy Service would like to wish all of you and your little ones best wishes and good luck when they start school. Xx

Think this little girl deserves a nice cuddle and a bedtime story after all her hard work!! 😍

Sadly Clovenfords Tutoring has not been operating since lockdown. Since then, I have developed long covid and currently am not working.
