Starting School by Jane Goodwin

" Tim, Hannah, Sunita, Joe and Polly are all off to school for the first time. Would you like to meet them and see how they go? There are new friends to make, fun ways to learn and lots of different things to discover "

A beautifully written and illustrated book that introduces children to the daily patterns and routines of going to school for the first time and the emotions and thoughts they may experience on their first day.

Each page flows through the day from getting ready in the morning, the first day at school, getting to know people, making friends, being shown around the school, snack time, in the playground, in the classroom, learning at school, new thins to get used to, doing work, packing up, home time and then reflecting on the best things about school.

An excellent book written through the experiences of the five children.
