Starting School

Starting School

Starting school for children can be a positive experience and preparing your child is an important part of this process. Reading stories and sharing information about the first day can really help.

In support for children starting primary school in Northern Ireland, we are featuring a specially curated booklist for families to read together as well as engaging colouring and drawing activities for fun.
