I know there are a few kindy teachers around here...

I wonder what their top tips are for helping my child be school-ready for next year? I think she's ready in the ways I can judge (including socially, she's had three years of preschool) and her preschool says so as well.

But we went to the info morning and I was interested to hear the teacher say helping your child know and recognise their surname was something a lot of parents don't do and is helpful.

Preschool does things like having the kdis put their bag where it goes, get out their own drink bottles, lunch boxes, hats, etc, in and out when needed. Is there anything else in a practial sense that would help her?

We have some play mornings at big school from September, so she can learn where things are, like the toilets.
