We are excited to share the launch of our new Ready for school success group.
This 6 week course aims to support both children and parents by building the key skills needed for a confident and successful start to school. There is a strong emphasis on learning through play, with simple activities that parents can easily continue at home.
Children will be encouraged to practise everyday school routines and activities including:
- Early communication skills: listening, joining in with songs, rhymes & stories
- Social skills such as sharing & taking turns with resources
- Fine motor skills practise & developing their skills to encourage mark making
- Familiarising themselves with routines to move outside & inside safely in the setting
- Managing simple independence skills such as washing hands, managing their own bag & coat, putting away toys & equipment, sitting at tables & pouring drinks etc
These activities help children develop independence, confidence, and familiarity with school expectations. At the same time, parents are supported with guidance and reassurance, helping to reduce any anxieties around their child starting school.
