Starting primary school child. In the week before they start school, get your child used to the times they will need to get up in the mornings and go to bed. • Decide early who is taking your child to school on their first day so they can know as soon as possible what will happen in the morning. • Share your memories of your ﬁrst day or funny and light stories about your time at school so they start to get a sense of this is what big boys/girls do. • Plan a treat for the end of the school day; it’s likely they will be tired so a simple trip to the local park or their favourite dinner would be more than enough.

When your child first starts school, it’s a big change in your family life, especially if it is your eldest or youngest child. You may feel sad and be worried that your child will be unhappy, will not make

friends, or will not enjoy schoolwork. You may be trying to support your child to make it all exciting, but inside you may be feeling just as nervous. Starting or changing schools can be one of the biggest transitions in a child’s life and remember that most children love school and go on to make the most of their education. We have compiled some tips on starting school that you may find helpful. Help your child • Help your child to develop the skills they need to be independent, such as getting used to playing with other children, dressing themselves and looking after their possessions. • Get storybooks from the library about starting school and read them to your

Emotional support • Talk positively to your child about starting school, as well as listening to and acknowledging any anxious feelings or fears they may have. • Help your child to build their conﬁdence e.g. let them know it is ok to ask to go to the toilet at school. • If you are feeling worried, make sure you have someone to talk to so that your children don’t pick up on any negative feelings – and remind yourself that it is perfectly normal to have a bit of the jitters yourself. • Encourage them to be thoughtful about other children’s feelings and remember to take turns and share. • If you sense your child will feel clingy and not want to leave you in fear they will miss out, let them know what you have planned for the day – the duller the better!

Speak to the school • Find out from the school how reception children are introduced to the school and what happens on the first day. Talk this through with your child so that they know what to expect. • Tell the school about your child, e.g. any special needs, medical problems, likes or dislikes. • Make a point of finding out more about the school – look around your child’s classroom so that you know what they are doing and can talk to them about it. • Try to ensure you start off on the right foot with the school. Be friendly and open in your phone calls or meetings. If you feel annoyed by anything try to keep a calm head as you will be seeing a lot of them over the years your child is at primary school. • Try to go to as many of the meetings before and after your child starts at the school, as you can. If you can’t attend give the school a call and ask for the information to be sent to you.

January 2014 theEducator

Top tips for preparing your child for starting school As a Reception/ Kindergarten teacher with nearly 10 years of experience in helping children and their parents settle into starting school for the first time, I’ve always considered this area that I am really comfortable about with giving advice and support. However, I finally find the shoe on the other foot with my firstborn starting school for the first time this September and I thought I’d write a Top Tips style post about starting school, very much keeping in mind that this is now all new to me too from the other side, finally being the parent instead of the teacher. So, if your little one is starting school or preschool for the first time this term, then let’s do this together! Here’s what I’ve learned so far, but I know there’s so much more for me to learn this year! Lots of the following ideas will obviously depend on the character of you and your child and the flexibility and communicative nature of the school they will be attending. Just choose the bits that are helpful and leave the rest! Preparing Emotionally Lots of kids (and of course their parents!) are very anxious about this big new change of starting school. It may be the cause of a huge bag if mixed emotions, both the excitement about growing up and moving onto the next step, and the sadness at watching them become more independent in the sense that they don’t need us as much. Ultimately, it’s a wonderful thing that they will be growing, learning, developing and building character but it’s definitely a whole new world. [Side note before I continue, this isn’t a post about homeschool vs state school and I very much admire and love the whole concept of homeschooling, just in-case anyone had concerns on that issue!] • Visit the school together and ask to be shown the places that are really important to your child and their settling in process ie the toilets, where to get snacks, the self -registration area, the satchel racks etc. You may be excited to see the ICT suite and the art studio, but your child needs reassurance about the more immediate and fundamentally important areas at this stage! Trust me, knowing where the toilets and sinks are has been the number 1 concern of every single child I have ever taught, bar none, and rightly so! • If possible, meet the teacher together and encourage your child to say hello and share a

few things about herself that the teacher might like to know. Not how clever she is or that she’s the next musical genius (they’ll soon discover that for themselves.) Let your child share a special toy or lovey, talk about how they love swimming or supporting the Chelsea football team. Ask simple questions about the school day and what sort of things your child will be doing in the settling in period. • Some schools now offer a home-visit to allow the teacher to see the child in their own home setting, which is fantastic. Certainly take them up when this is offered. They are not coming to check out your home, they want to get to know your child in a more relaxed environment! If allowed, ask to snap a photo of the teacher in the new classroom and then take this home and stick it into a little homemade book or on the wall near the table so you can talk together regularly about it in a natural way. • Borrow lots of Starting School books from the library and read them every day over the weekend, picking out the fun and exciting activities that are going on in each one and using them as starting points for conversations. If your child seems worried about starting school then use books to draw out these fears and reassure them. Most fears are related to not knowing what is going to happen and where things are, and these can be talked through thoroughly to the best of your knowledge. • Go on a special and exciting trip together to buy uniform and essential items for starting school, such as a lunch box, new shoes, coat and stationery. Make it into an adventure rather than a chore and try to do it one on one without other little ones to distract attention. Preparing practically • When you go on your uniform shopping trip (above) make sure not to go too early otherwise your child may very well have grown by the time First Term comes around! But obviously don’t leave it too late either incase everything is sold out in the shops. A few weeks before should be perfect timing, perhaps leaving the shoes to a week or two before. If possible it is advisable to pick up some spare uniform from a second-hand sale that the school might be running, as they will be getting dirty every day (hopefully!) • Buy iron-on labels with your child’s surname on and label EVERYTHING. Yes, even

their underwear and socks (you don’t want to know how many of those ended up in lost property after PE each year!) Hats and scarves should also be labelled and gloves strung onto elastic and threaded through coat sleeves, just like Granny used to do. It’s so much easier. • Write their name inside their shoes with permanent pen. There are only so many pairs of school shoes available in the shops and there are often multiple pairs the same in each classroom. While you are there, draw half of a smiley face in the left shoe and the other half in the right (or a butterfly, football etc), so that when they are held together they match like a puzzle. This is a quick and easy way to help your child know which foot each shoe goes on. You’d be amazed how many kids go home wearing their shoes on the wrong feet each day! • Where possible, whether your child is going to a uniformed school or not, buy clothes that are easy to put on. This sounds a bit simple, yet it’s amazing how many kids are sent to school with fiddly buttons, buckles, zips and fasteners that actually end up being the cause of tears of frustration every time they need the toilet or to change for PE lessons. Most schools offer jogging tracksuits these days, and even if you don’t think they are as “cute”, they really are the simplest for your child to manage alone. Some skirts also have elasticated waists and those are fabulous too.Similarly, buy them shoes with velcro and not with laces. It really is hard work for them and they take their shoes on and off more often than you would think. The same applies for bags and boxes that are easy to use and open independently. Preparing Academically and with Life Skills I use the word academically very lightly as clearly I don’t mean you should teach your child everything they are going to learn in school before they attend, unless they want to of course! (My Cutie has learned a lot of the Reception learning objectives already but only because she has wanted to and has been really keen to learn. They’re all different and there’s no rush, it’s not a race.) Preparing for school is SO much more about their dispositions and emotions rather than their achievements and abilities. Sending a confident, independent and happy child to school is the true aim and most important emphasis. This is more a brief list of areas that would really be helpful for them

to have tucked away securely before they start and a place to begin if your child is ready and keen. • As mentioned in the preparing emotionally section, the best way to prepare a child in life is to read to them. Einstein said “If you want your children to be intelligent read them fairy tales.” I’ve always said to parents that if you have time for only one thing each day with your kids, forget the plethora of activities and games out there and simply read, read, read. Read a wide variety of books, both stories and non-fiction, comics and recipe books- anything that takes their interest! For a child starting school it’s a good time to introduce reading longer chapter books aloud to them, as well as the usual picture books. If you haven’t already started attending a library regularly, this is a great time to start! • Teach them to recognise their own name. This is step one and if you only have time for one thing, do this. Write their name out and type it out, then stick those up for them to see or let them play with them. Ask them to find their name amongst lots of other words. Make it fun and playful. • Teach them to write their name independently. With most schools it’s crucial you teach them to write their name using a capital letter at the beginning and lower case for the rest of the name, although in some schools there is an emphasis on learning all uppercase to begin with, and those are just simple variations in teaching methodology. But here in Zimbabwe please teach them mainly in lowercase. There are so many fun ways to practise name writing in a fun way and without even using a pen or pencil (something that some kids are just not ready for at this stage.) Browse our name writing ideas here. • Begin learning the alphabet and the sounds that each letter makes. In school your child will be taught a phonics learning programme with the emphasis being on the sounds that the letters make rather than the letter name itself. Teach them the ABC song, but then quickly move onto the sounds they make. Play games to help consolidate this and if possible, avoid giving them workbooks and sheets to complete. Some kids love these and that’s fine, but many do not and are quickly put off wanting to learn this way. Fun, practical and playful learning is what is important. • Teach them how to use the toilet and to clean themselves afterwards independently. I still have vivid memories of

January 2014 theEducator a little girl in my Reception class who would walk in from the bathroom after each visit, pants around her ankles, shouting “someone come and wipe my bum right now!!” Of course the teachers and staff will be there to help, but with lots of kids in the class and lunch and play time periods too, they need to learn this essential life skill fast! • Explain the importance of hand washing and teach them how to do it properly, using soap, washing both sides of their hands and in-between their fingers, before drying. In the first year of school there are lots of new bugs that go around and kids pick these up so easily from each other due to close contact and poor hygiene, which is inevitable to some degree but this really helps them out. • Encourage them to talk to other children by looking at their eyes and smiling, asking what their names are and introducing themselves. 99% of all children’s worries in the first week is that they don’t have any friends yet, and we need to give them the skills to independently get to know each other. Most kids are fantastic at playing with new people anyway, but there are some who are not as gifted in this area and can be very shy to start with. • Encourage them to take

all concerns and needs to a grown up and not be worried to speak up about anything. Children get upset about lost satchel, a missing drawing, a child who knocked them over accidentally etc and teachers can and will resolve these problems for them if they let them know. On the day • If your child is particularly anxious, give them a little token to remember you by or bring their favourite teddy or toy to school. The teacher should be fine with this. • If you are allowed into the classroom come in and show your child around, helping them to find something they want to play with and staying only as long as is really necessary. Help them find their satchel hook and anything else that might be theirs e.g. a name tray, cubby hole etc and remind them of where the toilets are. The quicker you leave the easier it is for them to settle down and take their bearings on the new set up. • Try not to cry in front of them as this will upset and confuse them, especially as you’ve been telling them how great big school is and that they will love it! I now know how hard this will be myself, but hopefully if you’ve been to visit and are feeling reas-

sured yourself, this will be far easier. If needed, say goodbye and go and have a good cry outside with a friend! • Say hello to the other parents and arrange a meet up as soon as possible (maybe straight away for coffee!) All the other parents are in the same boat and also feeling a little unsure, and many will be looking to make friendships too. It’s just as important to build solid relationships with the other parents as it is for the kids to become friends, after all, you will probably be together for many years if the class progresses through the school together!

As the year progresses • Ask the teachers if there is a way to volunteer in the classroom and help out by reading to small groups, playing with children, setting up table tops activities or supervising in the playground. You will most certainly have a skill hat would be so useful for the school eg gardening, art, building, DIY, book binding, reading etc. Teachers value this sort of involvement SO much and would love to have you come and help. • If you can’t come in due to work or smaller babies at home, try asking if there is something you could do at home to help eg fixing broken books and resources or lami-

They can add more of their own writing and drawing as their ability develops, which

nating items for displays. There may be committees or parent rep schemes you could volunteer for or joining the PTA also really helps increase involvement with the school. • Keep inviting a wide range of kids back to play at home or in the park, generally just one at a time, so lasting friendships can develop. This is particularly important if it

able with the new route or method of transport when they start the new school. Practise the journey Where possible, practise the new journey with the child a few times beforehand. If they will be tak-

ing a bus, then practice the run a few times until they are comfortable with the journey. If they are using a bike or walking to school, practise the route and ensure you talk about the obvious dangers, like the road or strangers, etc.

Try to ﬁnd at least one other neighbouring pupil who is going to the same school so that your child has a travelling companion. It may help to speak to the parent and ask them to join you in practising the route. If you are planning to take your child to school by car, it might be helpful to speak to other parents and organise a travel rota so all the parents share the journeys. If the school provides transport and you meet the criteria, make sure to apply for a bus pass in good time. If your child will be getting the bus and will have a bus pass, it is important to teach your child the importance of keeping it in a safe place. For the first few weeks, ensure they get into the habit of putting it in a safe place in their school bag and always putting it away in the same place after each use. Make sure your child always has ‘emergency money’ (separate from any other money, eg lunch money etc) in case she or he forgets their pass, needs alternative transport or has to phone for help. If your child is taking a mobile phone into school, talk to them about adhering to the school rules on mobile phones and keeping it safe too. Keeping calm on their first few days It is natural to feel worried and anxious when your child takes those first steps of independence and travel to school alone. Whatever their method of transport, it is still a concern for parents on how their journey will fare. Try not to show your child the anxiety so they feel confident but express to them if there are any incidents on the way to or from school, to let you know in the first instance and to keep themselves as safe as possible. Bullying on the way to or from school If your child has any issues with other children on the bus, and they are feeling bullied, it is important to take action as soon as you are aware of it. If your child is being bullied, you can speak to the school about this or if the child is from another school, you can approach their school too.

Supporting your child at school

and let your child see you and other family members reading them. When a child comes home from school, they may be tired so try not to fire too many questions at your child as soon as they walk through the door. They may be tired or hungry and not feel like talking. Be available to listen later if they want to talk.

Children can achieve well at school when their family and friends take an interest in their school and schoolwork. Getting involved in your child’s education, even in the simplest way, shows that you care about their school life. Often, the more supported a child feels at home, the more effectively she or he will learn at school. Whatever your lifestyle, or family situation, it is never too soon (or too late) to start helping a child develop a positive attitude towards learning. Teachers appreciate that time can be a factor in busy families but there are ways of being involved in your child’s education without feeling overwhelmed. If you are a non-resident parent, it is equally as important to be involved in your child’s learning too. This can give the child far greater goals and inspire them to try their best where they can. Helping your child get the best out of school Try to give encouragement and show appreciation of the child’s achievements, whether great or small, this will help boost their conﬁdence. Try to teach them necessary organisation skills and how to manage their time so they are not overwhelmed with projects or homework. Be realistic and avoid putting your child under pressure by having over-high expectations. Let your child develop at their own pace, but if you do have concerns, please speak to their teacher. Try to give feedback rather than criticism, e.g. saying ‘that didn’t seem to work’ rather than ‘you got it wrong’. This helps them think about where they went wrong rather than feel a failure. You might find contacting the school or talking to your child’s teachers difficult, or think they will not have time for you. But finding out more about their school life and what they are learning shows your child how much you care about their education. And getting to know the school and the teachers is the best way of finding out more. Tips to help you keep up with what’s happening at the school • Make sure your child gives you any letters that are sent home. • Look out for notices and posters for parents. • If you can, check the school website. • Try to make it to the fun events, like school fairs, and to parents’ evenings. • If you are worried about anything go and talk to a teacher. They will want to help. Out of school support Often parents like to introduce a variety of interests in and out of school too so children have the opportunity to explore other interests that they enjoy. Learn together, do things together, visit interesting places, talk about things you’ve seen on television and allow your child to ask questions. Encourage reading by having books, magazines and newspapers in the home

Thinking ahead Education is more than just maths, english and science. Sports, art, computers, whatever your child’s talents, you can help them aim high by boosting their confidence and you can do this by: • Encourage them to join after-school clubs or activities. • Tell your child how proud you are when they do well. • Let them hear you praising them to other people. • Talk together about their future and the kind of job they think they would enjoy. • Ask them to help you with things they are good at. • Help your child to ﬁnd someone to look up to; a relative, friend or celebrity. If your child is struggling at school If your child has Special Educational Needs (SEN), it is even more important to be involved so you can understand what support your child is receiving at school and whether he or she is on target. You can speak to their class teacher or the special education teacher if your school has one. You may hear terms that are unfamiliar and if this is the case, you can always speak to the school or your Local Education Authority about what these mean. Your child may have an IEP (Individual Education Plan) which is reviewed on a quarterly basis, this will indicate what support your child needs and how this is being met by the school. These plans should be set with your involvement in a meeting with the teacher and special education teacher. If your child does need extra help, find out from the school how he or she can be supported at home, it may be something as simple as allowing them to draw more often to help with fine motor skills, etc. Helping your child make new friends A child’s main anxiety may be the fear of not knowing anyone when they first start school or having no friends. But children are usually very flexible in making new friends. And some schools will actively help new pupils to get to know one another through peer mentoring or buddying schemes. Children sometimes make friends and then fall out again for a short time - many different groupings and regroupings can occur in the early days. You can help your child by encouraging them to: • get to know as many classmates as possible • talk to you about them if he or she wants to • encourage them to build a social life with friends outside of school • invite and visit friends after school or at weekends, if circumstances permit
