Emma Conway, aka Brummy Mummy of 2, is a blogger, vlogger and mum to Erin and Ethan, who have both started primary school. Here are her top tips to help you if your child is starting primary school this September鈥
Emma's tips:
- Make a to-do list and deal with letters and emails from school right away!
- Take pictures of your children in their uniform a couple of weeks before (the first day of school might be a little too hectic!).
- Help your child to prepare by teaching them to wash their hands, put their coat on and eat their meals independently.
- Think of extra things you need at home, just in case, like plasters, or pens, paper and art supplies for homework.
- Enjoy hanging out together before school starts!
