Is your child ready to start reception?

In June, we will be starting School Readiness sessions citywide to support children with getting ready to start school.

If your child needs support in any of these areas these sessions can help:

🔵Listening and understanding - follow instructions and understand the need to follow rules

🟠Sharing and turn taking - share toys, play games with others

🟢Eating using a knife and fork - open a packed lunch and packaging

🟣Going to the toilet - using toilet and wash and dry hands without any help

🔵Getting dressed and undressed - button and unbutton clothes and putting shoes on

🟠Keeping to a routine - leave on time and having a good bedtime routine

There is no need to book and sessions will run for six weeks covering a different topic each week with a mini graduation at the end to celebrate school readiness.
