As we enter the last few weeks before we stop for summer, this is a very exciting time for our pre-schoolers that will be moving up to P1 in August.
In the ECC we will begin looking to promote more independent skills with the children moving up. This is something that we also encourage Parents/Carers to do at home.

Handy tips:
- Labels with child’s name on all their belongings.
- Shoes that are easy to put on and fasten – same for gym shoes.
- Make sure your child can easily identify their belongings for example; coat, bag, pencil case and lunch bag.
- Practice putting on and zipping up coat with your child.
- Practice organising belongings – if taking off coat, jumper etc to put where it is meant to go and not left laying on floor.
- Eating using a knife and fork – if packed lunches easy to open items.
- Toileting – practice with your child to ensure that they are confident in accessing the toilet, wiping and washing hands.
This is a very exciting time for all the children and we want to prepare them as best as we can.
