🌈⭐️✏️Calling all our Calderwoodies-To-Be… Letters to all our new P1s were posted yesterday so look out for a special delivery coming through your door over the next few days! #P1Transition #Induction #StartingSchool
"Why is the early years sector only seen as important when it’s viewed as a stepping stone to something else?" "School readiness" has been in the news a lot again recently, but is it good for children...or for schools?

It’s an early start for me, as we get ready for Reception’s second day. Please don’t be late: we suggest arriving for 8:40am as children go in just after 8:45am. Use that 5 minutes to talk to your new teacher and start making connections. #startingschool
We wish all our new Reception families, who will be joining us tomorrow for a stay & play and a meeting with me, a very big welcome to ThamesViewInfants. Starting big School is an important milestone stone and we’re looking forward to seeing you. #startingschool

Cover illustration of When I am Calm from First Behaviours board books series, cute, purple, non-gendered monster, eyes closed, calm face, holding teddy.
When I am CALM is a great book to read with little ones #startingschool or nursery 😊
Examples of what 'calm' feels like can help children recognise and understand their and each other's behaviours.

Say hello to Pip, A Better Start Southend's friendly mascot, introducing local children to 'Let's Get Ready for School' bags - which can be borrowed from any Southend Library.
Book bags contain 3 books and activity sheets to help children feel confident about #StartingSchool.
