Both my kids have had a fear if letting go (mainly poo) in the toilet. They feel their wee and poo is part of them and are scared to let it out and see it disappear.
The best way I found was to talk about your own toileting a lot, encourage her to look in the toilet after you go and wave bye to wee and poo and flush.
The nappy is a safety thing. Toilets are about feeling the elimination happen. It's a big transition.

That makes sense arcadia.. i don't understand why she was happy to do it at school today though?
They said she actually did a couple wees on the toilets there today, whereas usually she just has accidents.
DD always follows DH and I into the toilet and asks what we're doing (and we reply wee or poo), but we have never thought to let her see, we'll try that
We also talk about what she has done in her nappy as well, we dont make a big deal or say "yukky poo" but we say whenever any of us poo that it's stinky and have a laugh about it.
This is such foreign territory lol!
